Frida Kahlo Rivera

Black-and-white photograph of Mexican painter Frida Kahlo Rivera looking into the distance with a half-smile. She is topless, but as she leans forward holding a cigarette, elbow on her knee and chin in her hand, her breasts are obscured. She wears jewelry and a large white flower in her hair.
