A vertically oriented, sepia-toned photogravure crops closely around the face of Francisca Chiwiwi, an older woman with medium-dark skin tone. Facing us directly, deep wrinkles crease her forehead and cheeks. She wears a dark head covering and a patterned shawl over a collared shirt. Multiple strands of dark beads hang around her neck. Her steady eyes look straight forward, while her mouth is closed in a neutral, somber expression.
