Graciela Iturbide

Artist, Mexican, born 1942

The image shows a young girl standing on dirt ground, barefoot and wearing a soiled short-sleeved dress. She has straight, dark hair and is carrying a large, angular bone structure on her back. The landscape around her is barren, with small rocks and sticks on the flat, dry surface. In the background, there is a low stone wall, with a group of animals beyond it. The sky is covered in clouds, casting muted light over the scene, with distant hills in the background.
