Description

This portrait features an elderly Black woman with a gentle expression standing outdoors amidst a lush green hillside environment. She is wearing a patterned orange and yellow dress featuring geometric circular motifs, paired with a colorful printed headscarf tied securely around her head. Her hands are clasped loosely in front of her waist as she looks off to the side with a calm demeanor. The natural lighting highlights the textured fabric of her garment and the soft bokeh of the background foliage. The photograph was captured by photographer Rich Gilligan.
