An identification photograph featuring a woman with dark hair swept to the side and pinned at the back, wearing a dark blouse with white lace or ruffle around the neck, without head covering. On her shoulders, there is a scarf (?) with a pattern featuring geometric elements (?). The woman was photographed against a relatively bright background. The print has straight edges, with the side edges slightly jagged; the edge at the lower left corner is slightly wider than in other places. The frame lines of the print are quite wide, with the bottom frame line twice as wide as side frame lines and upper frame line. In the lower right corner of the portrait, there is a triangular gap with which the photograph was developed, which appears to be an extension of frame lines (of the same colour); it is likely a secondary print from a re-photographed ID photograph, cropped at the seal. In the photo album, at the time of its transfer to the museum collection, the photograph was placed in the right top slot on the verso side of page 7, above a photograph of a man wearing a pelisse (MPOLIN-A58.1.22), inserted into the same slot. This is a photograph with a similar gap; the photographs evidently form a pair, and it can be assumed that the woman and the man were family, either a married couple or, less likely, siblings.
