"Fish seller from Nazaré, Portugal.
With her face ravaged by her hard life, this old lady seems to be contemplating the future with a faraway look in her eye, a profound and penetrating gaze. Her sprightliness is unparalleled and rivals that of any youngster.
In this small community with very deep-rooted customs, the men have, for many generations, dedicated their lives to traditional fishing. This is the community’s main source of sustenance. The tough and uninhibited women sell the fish and manage the family finances."
