Untitled
1969

A black and white photograph of an elderly woman sitting with a joyful expression, her eyes closed and head tilted back slightly. She is holding a crumpled piece of paper in her right hand, which is raised in a triumphant gesture. The woman is wearing a floral dress with a dark cardigan, and there are a few items on her lap, including a pair of glasses and what appears to be a small purse or pouch. The background is dark, and the photo shows signs of wear and tear along the edges.
