Photographic portrait of a Cahuilla Indian with her child and baby, 1897. The woman stands at center, her body facing right, her head turned towards the viewer. Her brow is furrowed, and she holds a metal pail full of rags at her side with a muscular, veiny hand. Behind her and to the left, a young boy can be seen following her. On her back, a baby can be seen slung into the kerchief papoose she has fashioned. She wears a dress and blouse, as well as a bundle of rags on her head. A long building, possibly adobe, can be seen in the right distance.
