About this work

The painting is a portrait of a woman, likely a gypsy, with her head covered by a white cloth. She is wearing a white dress and has her hands clasped together in front of her. The background of the painting is dark, which helps to highlight the subject's face and clothing. The woman's expression is serious, and her eyes seem to be looking directly at the viewer. The painting is done in a realistic style, with attention to detail in the subject's clothing and facial features. The painting is a print, and it is held at the Museum of Ethnography.
