"尽管在活动中拍摄了许多其他照片,但这是最引人注目的一张。 可能是由于母亲遥远的眼神,向我们暗示她迷失在她的思想中。 她的三个孩子靠在她的身上。 尽管她表情疲惫,但我们的印象是这个女人不会放弃,"照片文化网站描述道。

兰格的照片成为美国大萧条时期的一个决定性形象,但由于兰格没有问她的名字,这位移民母亲的身份几十年来一直是个谜。 20世纪70年代末,一名记者在欧文斯(当时她姓汤普森)位于加利福尼亚莫德斯托的家中找到了她。

汤普森批评了1965年去世的兰格,说她觉得被这张照片剥削了,希望它没有被拍摄,还对她没有从中赚钱表示遗憾。 汤普森于1983年去世,享年80岁。 1998年,由兰格签名的这张照片的印刷品以244,500美元的价格被拍卖。

尽管这幅特写肖像成为多萝西娅-兰格最著名的点击作品,并成为美国大萧条的象征,但这位摄影师还是拍摄了一系列佛罗伦萨-欧文斯和她的孩子在农民营地的照片。 请看下面的照片顺序:
