- Description
- This image depicts a woman standing outside a glass shop front. She holds a piece of paper in her left hand and carries a plastic shopping bag over her left arm. She wears a scarf over her hair, a short coat, and pants. In the foreground are four small pairs of overalls hanging from a line tied to a large square pillar, in front of the graffitied shop wall. The light strikes the overalls and casts their shadows against the wall, while the woman is reflected in the shop window.
