Painting is a 1850 paint by Apostolos Geralis, held at Peloponnesian Folklore Foundation.
This painting shows a woman in a bright costume against a plain background. Her dress has bold stripes and a checked apron. Her pose is stiff, like she’s sitting for a portrait. The artist painted her costume in thick layers of paint. You can see the brush strokes clearly—this is called impasto. It makes the fabric look real and rough.

Apostolos Geralis (1886–1983) was an artist, born in Trygonas, Lesvos.
