About this work
Overview
Jomfru Maria med et blåt slør, ses i en blomsterkrans is a black-and-white photograph created in 1750 by an unknown artist. It is part of the collection at the Museum of Ethnography.
Subject & Meaning
The image depicts a woman's face surrounded by a floral wreath, her hair covered by a hood, with a calm yet serious expression. The flowers, a mix of blooms and buds, frame her face like a crown, with foliage entwining her neck and shoulders.
Technique & Style
The photograph features soft lighting that blurs some edges, giving it an aged appearance. The flowers surrounding the woman are not real but rather rendered in a lifelike manner through painting or drawing, adding a layer of artifice to the image.
