Photograph of a woman wearing a hat, identified as a 'Frenchwoman' (Stefania née Grossman?)

The full-face portrait of a woman wearing a hat with a long bright scarf hanging down against the background of a small building. The woman is walking towards the lens. On her figure lies the photographer's shadow - probably a similarly dressed woman, judging by the hat, whose shadow is visible on the dress of the photographed person. The signature on the back - "French woman." - allows us to conclude that it was made by the hand of Stefania née Grossman; the handwriting resembles that of other photographs described by her. We can also risk a hypothesis that this is an image of Stefania jokingly signing her name in this way when, for example, she sent a photograph from a journey in France (see the next photo in the collection) to her cousin Diana Baruchowa, née Wolfson.
