Therese Le Prat, born Cahen in 1895, is a French photographer known for her portraits marked by great expressive force. This photograph, taken in 1930 in Tiznit, In southern Morocco, testifies to his attentive gaze focused on the faces and cultures encountered during his trips. The Maison de la photography retains several of his works, illustrating the growing interest carried by women photographers to the societies of the Maghreb at the beginning of the 20th century.
