Object:Studio portrait of six young women in folk attire
Description:Full length shot of six girls in traditional attire. Four of them are holding baskets. Two of the girls are sitting on an artificial rock, while the other two are standing. Some are leaning against a wooden fence. All of them are richly adorned with necklaces, earrings, and bracelets. Two girls are wearing coin-adorned belts. Their hair is decorated with flowers, and the woman on the far right is wearing an ornate headdress decorated with flowers, feathers, and strings of coins. Painted canvas backdrop.
Comment:Given title by the Austrian Museum of Folk Life and Folk Art: "Bulgarische Mädchen" (Bulgarian girls). Some of the young women are the same as in VASE.00451, which makes it possible to date the photograph and identify the photographer.
