This iconic portrait was featured on the cover of the June 1985 issue of National Geographic. Afghan Girl is a 1984 photographic portrait of Sharbat Gula (1972), taken by photojournalist Steve McCurry. The image is of an adolescent girl with green eyes in a red headscarf looking intensely at the camera. The identity of the photo's subject was not initially known, but in early 2002, she was identified as Sharbat Gula. She was a Pashtun child living in the Nasir Bagh refugee camp in Pakistan during the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan when she was photographed.
