Untrimmed black and white photograph (printed by Jerry L. Thompson in 1975, NY.) A lone female figure is seated in an interior studio setting in front of a fabric backdrop. She is barechested, and wears a checkerboard patterned skirt around her waist and a geometric-patterned head wrap. The portrait focuses on her waist and above and her body is angled to the photographer with her right shoulder closer to the viewer. She wears a simple beaded necklace, small earrings, and a few bracelets. She holds an unidentifiable object in her right hand.
