Plate 1

Doris Ulmann

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a person from the waist up, slightly off-center and facing upwards with hands raised as if pulling a rope. Their facial features are partially obscured by shadow, with determined expression. They have a dark complexion, wearing a white headscarf, white garment with dark embellishments, and a draped scarf over their shoulders. There is no visible jewelry or other objects held by the person. The background includes a light-colored wooden wall and a partially visible door on the left, indicating an indoor setting with diffused lighting and shadows.
