DescriptionStretched and unframed.;A woman seated on a chest cradles an infant in her left arm as she bottle feeds it, while she awaits evacuation. She is dressed in a green dress and brown jacket. The infant is in white. In the foreground, her little daughter, dressed in yellow with a red jacket, stands on her right shoe with arms upraised to be held. A thermos stands in the lower right corner. On either side of the chest is a tagged suitcase and white bundle with her hat atop. Behind them to the right, a woman in tan covers her face with her hands. In the background a soldier stands with his rifle in hand before a greyish structure.
