A pair of delicate hands hold a bunch of grapes up against a window in this vertical black and white photograph. The hands and grapes are backlit against the bright window panes. The woman holds the stem of the bunch in her left hand between her thumb and index finger, and the rest of her fingers curve up and out. She cups the grapes from below with her other hand. Buttoned cuffs of a knitted shirt hug the woman’s wrists.
