Description

This black and white portrait features a young child with fine windswept hair blowing across the forehead. The subject wears a dark long-sleeved top accented with a light-coloured ruffled collar and drawstring. The composition is a tight close-up shot outdoors, with soft natural light illuminating the subject's face against a dark, natural background. The photograph has a candid, documentary quality with visible grain and monochrome tonal contrast.
