- A slender African American woman stands in partial profile with two young children in front of a light-painted cement block wall. The woman is wearing a light-colored knitted sweater with 3/4 length sleeves, and a light-colored headscarf, and is looking sidelong at the camera. She has her right hand on the shoulder of a little boy who leans into her hip while looking unsmiling at the camera, the light is coming from their right behind them. On the woman's other side, a toddler stands near her, mostly obscured in shadow.
