description: 
The young life at home was very simple, a dress, the replica of mother's. The child is sitting on a goat skin. The skeptical expression may indicate insecurity in the face of strangers. The treasures nestled in her hands may have been given by the visiting missionary, Miss Hendrina Hospers who took the picture. A permanent type of house is shown. It is made of logs chinked with adobe.
