Description

A black and white image captures a woman receiving a prenatal massage from another woman. The pregnant woman lies on her side, her back exposed, as the masseuse kneels beside her, applying pressure with her hands. The masseuse is seen from the shoulders up, wearing glasses and a patterned top. The setting appears to be a clinical one, with the pregnant woman resting on a covered bed. The black and white tones give the image a timeless and intimate feel.
