About this work

A woman stands holding a bunch of flowers in one hand and a wreath in the other. She wears a fancy dress with lace sleeves and a low neckline, plus a beaded belt. Her hair is styled in loose curls, and she looks calm and confident. The flowers and wreath suggest she might be dressed as a nature goddess. The dark background keeps the focus on her, making her clothes and pose stand out. Check out the Museum of Ethnography to see this painting in person.
