Object:Young lady in Baščaršija I
Description:A young Bosniak lady poses against a busy winter market scene in Baščaršija. She is smiling directly into the camera. Beneath her paisley-pattern mahrama she is wearing a dark spotted dress or dimije and leather gloves. She has pinned the end of the scarf to her sides with her elbows and is holding an elegant clutch bag in front of her with both hands. The Gazi Husrev-beg Mosque is in the background and snowy mountains can be seen in the distance.
