Woman in a light dress stands making tortillas with a small circle of dough in her hands. Several tortillas are cooking on a hot plate in front of her and several more sit in a cloth-lined basket to the side. Two boys stand behind her work station, both looking directly into the camera. The room has a dirt floor and is filled with miscellaneous objects. A double door stands at the back of the room, letting light in through two windows and the cracks around its frame.
