A striking portrait captures an elderly artisan woman seated on the stone steps of a building on Calle Macedonio Alcalá in Oaxaca City, Mexico. She is a purveyor of handmade crafts carved from local wood, which are displayed on the steps around her. Her hands gently hold a single, beautifully painted orb, a testament to her craft. The woman has a distinct skin pigmentation condition that gives her a unique, mottled complexion. She wears a mint green blouse and a plaid apron over a light green skirt. Her silver hair and warm, expressive eyes are the central focus of the image, conveying a sense of resilience and grace. A dark wooden door serves as a backdrop, complementing the earthy tones of the stone steps and the vibrant colors of her wares. The photograph is contained within a clean white frame, highlighting the woman's quiet strength and the artistry of her work.
