Photographer Judy Dater is known for her images of women, both in their daily lives and as the subjects of conceptual art. Here, she shows a mother and daughter in Cairo, Egypt, in a portrait that echoes the drama of Dutch Master oils, but highlights the way in which women artists of the 20th century had freedom to portray one another: strong, unflinching, and straightforward in their beauty. This image is illustrated both within (p. 81, fig. 58) and on the cover of Judy Dater: Twenty Years by James L. Enyeart, in association with De Saisset Museum, University of Santa Clara, 1986.
