- Description:
- Portrait of a young Mexican woman, who is perhaps in distress, outdoors, wrapped in a striped blanket. The woman has medium-dark skin and long dark hair in two tousled braids hanging behind her shoulders. She's looking past the camera to the right, and her mouth is open as though she's calling out. She's wearing a dark top with lace fronts, many beaded necklaces close around her neck, and has a woven striped blanket around her arms. She's outdoors in front of an iron fence just in front of a brick wall.
- Notes:
- Flush mounted gelatin silver print.
