Portrait of Chief William Brown's Daughter
A photograph depicting a young adult female seated in a chair, wearing a traditional wedding outfit consisting of Ibo cloth, jewelry, and an ornate hairstyle. The subject is positioned centrally in a frontal portrait against a backdrop of patterned textile featuring geometric grid and diamond motifs. She wears a light-colored cross-over garment, a wide dark collar with descending pendants, multiple stacked rigid bands on her upper arms, and a voluminous skirt with high-contrast vertical and diagonal stripes and a fringed hemline. The image is a black-and-white gelatin silver print, attributed to J.A. Green, a Nigerian photographer active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
