Young lady in Baščaršija II
| Description: | A young Bosniak lady poses against a busy winter market scene in Baščaršija. She is standing in the left lower corner of the picture and smiling directly into the camera, as if presenting the view of the Sebilj fountain, dotted with pigeons, and the passers-by to the photographer. She is wearing a dark flowered dress and a fringed paisley mahrama fixed in front of her chest, to which she also clutches a small, dark handbag decorated with a large button. Two pigeons sit on the signboards above her head, and more on a cabel stretching diagonally across the picture against the sky. At some distance, the Gazi Husrev-beg Mosque can be seen and the top of Sahat kula. |
