I would almost bet her clothing was made from a flour, feed or some kind of cotton sack. It was a time of survival and no frills. Her shoes show she was a hard worker. Excellent coloring.
I have long admired Dorthea Lange's work from the Depression era. My favorite is Migrant Mother.
I just watched "The Grapes of Wrath," again the other night. It is also one of my favorite books.
Great work.
