Trois Femmes Malgaches (Plate 30)

Désiré Charnay

National Gallery of Art

The image shows three people standing close together. They are dressed in a way that obscures their facial features, but their short, curly hair is visible. One person wears a necklace. The individuals are positioned in front of a wooden structure with a large door, suggesting an outdoor setting. The lighting is subdued, giving the photograph a sepia tone.
