A glimpse into history: Afro-Brazilian women captured by Alberto Henschel in 1869

A vintage sepia-toned portrait of a Black woman with short hair and dangling earrings, wearing an off-the-shoulder ruffled top, staring directly at the camera with a serious expression. The photo has a yellowed border with text at the bottom reading 'ALBERTO HENSCHEL & CO.' and 'PERNAMBUCO.' The overlaid text says 'you look like you're about to say something profound.'
