About this work

This photo shows two people sitting outside on a rough stone step. The woman on the right wears a dark shawl, a striped skirt, and a wide-brimmed hat. The child leans in close, dressed in a simple blouse and skirt. Their clothes look worn but clean, and the woman’s hands rest on her lap. The woman’s striped skirt is a common pattern in older photos, often used for durability. The photo looks like it was taken a long time ago, around the 1860s.
