This black and white photo, entitled Migrant Mother, shows a woman sitting outside a makeshift tent with her children. She wears a tattered dress and holds a baby in her arms. A young girl stands behind her on the right, leaning her head on her mother's shoulder and holding a wooden post of the tent in one hand. Part of the canvas tent can be seen behind them. On the left, a narrow table with an empty tin plate and a few vegetables next to it can be seen. Part of a kerosene lamp is visible behind the table. The woman looks into the distance and slightly to the right. She wears a troubled expression that appears to express great sadness and stoicism. The child by her side looks to the right and wears a frown, while the baby in her lap sleeps. The torn clothes of the three and the blank, flat prairie behind them seem to add a sense of bleakness and isolation.
