Hair Comb, Early 20th century

A black woman wearing a white shirt and black trousers looks back while dancing, arms stretched, blurry, moving towards the camera as she leans forward. Behind her, a man in an all-white suit, black sunglasses, and a hat stands wide with his hands blurry too, his mouth open like he's saying something.
