| Description: | Full-length shot of a woman dressed in traditional Serbian folk attire. She is wearing an embroidered jelek over an embroidered shirt and a 'pregača' (traditional embroidered apron with a geometric pattern). The shirt is tightened with a belt which is decorated with a 'pafte' (richly ornamented metal buckle). In her left hand she is holding a flower basket. A painted canvas backdrop is creating the impression of the scene being set in a rocky terrain. |
| Comment: | Ljubica Ava'kum'ović was the daughter of Jovan Ava'kum'ović (1841–1928), a lawyer, politician, and Prime Minister of Serbia (1892–1893; 1903). Jovan Ava'kum'ović was operational leader of the Liberal Party and of the opposition. The attire Ljubica is wearing in this picture was typical of the Serbian Danube and Save valleys and of the area around Belgrade. |
