Description
"Gruppe kleiner Mädchen. Dr. med. O. Fischer" ("Group of young girls. Dr. O. Fischer"). In the background a rectangular grass-roofed house built of wood and bamboo canes. Under its roof and in the foreground a group of ca. 40 seated girls and one old woman, who has covered her body with a piece of leather. The girls all sit very close together, some in rows of six to eight, with straddled legs and their backs resting on the chests of the girls in front.
