In this portrait, Pemba depicts a young woman in a crisp white blouse and red headscarf, her arm protectively drawn across her chest. The restrained composition and careful contrast of colour give the figure a quiet dignity, reflecting Pemba’s sustained attention to the people in New Brighton, Port Elizabeth.
