Description
Photograph of the painting "The Orphans" by Adan, depicting two young children being dropped-off at an orphanage, [s.d.]. A wheelbarrow sits to the left along a dirt road, while a man in wooden clogs ushers two toddlers towards the open gate of the orphanage, at which a nun can be seen. In the background, snow-capped mountains are visible behind a cluster of pine trees held within the adobe walls of the orphanage.
