Her arms and hands are raised over her face obscuring her facial features. The girl stands in front of a ladder which leads to the second story of an adobe building behind her. On the right side of the composition the silhouette of a second figure is obscured by a wooden post and an horno (baking oven) in the foreground. Large white clouds fill the sky in the background.On View
