Title Photograph of two men and a woman in Kilmurvey graveyard.
Description Photograph of two men and a woman praying at a gravestone in Kilmurvey graveyard on the Aran Islands. A Celtic cross headstone stands on the left. It stretches from the extreme foreground to the background. A second, seemingly smaller, cross gravestone stands on the right. Three figures stand, in the centre foreground, facing the headstone on the left. The two men have their caps in their hands. The woman is dressed entirely in black with her head covered with a shawl. The man in the middle could be Patcheen Faherty. The people and headstones are framed by a cloudy sky.
