Description
Photograph of a woman standing on a wire fence above an oil field [s.d.]. The woman can be seen standing on a wire fence that overlooks an oil field covered with numerous oil derricks. She wears knee-high boots, rider's trousers, a patchwork jacket, and a headscarf. Several buildings can be seen in the background on the right hand side behind the woman, as well as a building that appears to be a house in the distance, behind the large central oil derrick.
