A black-and-white photograph portrays two figures approaching a church.

A black-and-white photograph shows two people, their backs to the viewer, walking on a leveled dirt ground toward a white church with a domed tower under a cloudy sky. One figure is taller than the other; they both wear white caps, dark flowing garments, and clogs. Their clothes sway in the breeze.
