Silver print
14 in high x 10.75 in wide; 35.56 cm high x 27.31 cm wide
Provenance: Private collection, Phoenix, Arizona
This silver print by Frederic Allen Williams depicts a Navajo woman seated outdoors while holding a young child. The close framing and open background give the portrait a direct, intimate quality without removing it from its Southwestern setting. The photograph belongs to Williams’s 1926 body of Native American portrait work, with a focus on individual presence and family life.
The woman is shown in dark clothing and jewelry, seated low to the ground with the child held securely in front of her. The composition emphasizes gesture, protection, and the quiet relationship between the two figures. As a Navajo family portrait, the image records early 20th-century dress, maternal presence, and photographic representation in silver print format.
