Object:The innkeeper's wife in her bedroom
Description:Innkeeper Milorad Aćimović's wife Tomanija is sitting on a double bed with her baby on her lap. She is dressed in a dark jacket with decorations in the same shade and an equally dark headscarf knotted in peasant style. Her lower body is fully covered with a blanket. Her baby is carefully dressed, its lower body also covered by the blanket. The head of a cradle standing next to the bed dominates the lower left corner of the picture. The bed is situated in the corner of a modest room. The whitewash with contrast block prints looks somewhat faded.
Comment:The photograph was published as part of a report in the newspaper Vreme concerning a robbery in two kafanas on Avala Road carried out by a gang of thirteen men. Tomanija and Milorad Aćimović kept the kafana 'Avala' near the village of Pinosava. Tomanija was attacked and beaten during the assault.
