Old Women, Mamre, South Africa

"Vier alte Gemeindemitglieder von Mamre in Kirchentracht" ("Four old parishioners in church garb"). Four old women in front of a building. Three of the women are wearing the same style of dress all in white. A long skirt, a poncho and a headscarf as well as a walking stick are the main features of their clothing. The fourth woman on the right is wearing a white skirt which is a bit shorter than that of the other women. Further, she is not wearing a poncho but a cardigan. Behind the women the lower part of the door of the building can be seen.
