This woman is waiting for customers to stop at her clothing stall, one of many that line the huge market in the center of Cuenca’s old city. She wraps herself in jewelry and a shawl, staring impassively at the potential customers who flow past her stall. I see the human values being expressed here as patience, wisdom, experience, and resignation – she has obviously been doing what she does for a long time, and seems to accept the nature of her business. A figure of a man, perhaps a customer who has chosen to rest here for a moment, stands back to back with her, offers a striking background contrast to the white shawl.
