Dorothea Lange

Artist, American, 1895 - 1965

The image shows a full-body portrait of a person standing upright and facing slightly to the left. The person has dark, curly hair partially covered by a soft-looking hat, with calm facial features and a subtle expression. She is wearing a dark, long-sleeved dress that reaches below her knees, dark stockings, and flat shoes, holding a large, rectangular handbag in her right hand. The background is a simple, light-colored wall with a flat, light-colored ground, casting a soft shadow of her form, with no visible patterns or decorations.
