- Description
- A black-and-white photograph of the Carmona family by Eli Reed. The image depicts six (6) unidentified members of the family gathered around a table and facing towards the camera, which is level with the table. In the center of the image is a man holding a child on his lap; both have their elbows resting on the table in front of them and the child rests his chin in one hand. To the left of the image is a woman and a young child. The child is in front and slightly out of focus. His or her head is tilted back to look at the woman. The woman, wearing a patterned top with a collar, is looking down at the young child. A man, standing behind the woman, is also looking down at the child. In the right foreground of the image is another child, also slightly out of focus, wearing a dark top and resting his hands on top of the table with his face and body turned away from the table to look at the camera. In the background is an interior wall with hanging mirrors. The photograph is matted.
