About this work

This is a black-and-white photo of a woman with a serious expression. She’s wearing a dark dress with a high lace collar and a bow at the neck. Her hair is pulled back under a lace cap, and she’s looking straight ahead. The photo looks old, with soft lighting that hides details. The background is plain and dark, so all focus stays on her face and clothes. This photo is held at the Museum of Ethnography.
