I found this beautiful andean little girl in Chichir, a very small and poor village in the northern andean region of Peru. Youngest of 5 children, it was heartbreaking to see how she, despite material limitations, provides love and protection to her only possession: a baby wild cat that she keeps on her back (inside that dark wool blanket). The small scars, under left eye and on left cheek, were made by the cat.
I am trying to find info about her family. Hopefully I could see her again to share this and other images with them.
I know that portraits in general are not the best election for a free study but I really want people to see this angel's face, so it doesn't matter how it does in dpc.
Here an outtake:
