Dorothea Lange

Child of Migrant Family Suffering from Tuberculosis of the Bone, California
1935

A black and white historical photograph showing two young girls standing beside an old car on a dirt road. The girl on the left appears younger, wearing a patterned dress and looking directly at the camera with a serious expression. The girl on the right is slightly older, wearing a sleeveless dress with a stripe pattern, a crutch under her right arm, and looking off into the distance with a thoughtful expression. The background features a flat landscape with a clear sky and a road marker visible in the distance.
