Family portrait with one boy and father in Kente cloth

Alex Agbaglo Acolatse Togolese

Not on view

Untrimmed black and white photograph (printed by Jerry L. Thompson in 1975, NY.) The subject is a seated group of man, woman, and young child. The man wears a common buttoned chemise overlaid with a dark, horizontally-striped prestige cloth. The woman sports a head wrap, a simple blouse and a patterned skirt while the child wears a casual white cotton sleeveless shirt. The group sits in chairs in an outdoor setting, evidenced by the exterior of a building in the background. The image is tightly cropped around the group and is taken from an angle slightly above their heads.
