The Dove, Doris Lee, lithograph
This black and white photograph shows an African American woman and an African American boy facing each other on a street or sidewalk. The boy wears overall shorts and a white t-shirt and raises his arms in front of his chest. The woman wears high heels, a skirt, and a black short sleeved shirt and has one arm on her hip with the other carrying something. There are two windows behind the group, and in the window behind the woman, a posted sign reads “FURNISHED / ROOM.” From within the window—beneath the sign and behind the woman—another figure’s face is seen.
