The Only Flowers of Her Youth, Warsaw, 1938 by Roman Vishniac.
The circumstance captured in this photograph is quite an interesting one. Allegedly, the little girl depicted was confined to her bed all winter because she had no shoes. She was kept company only by the flowers on her wall, painted by her artist father. (Text and picture from here).
