Object:Studio portrait of a woman in folk dress from Požarevac
Description:Full-length shot of a young woman dressed in the traditional attire of the Serbian town of Požarevac. The props used in the studio (a metal fence, a brick wall and hey/grass scattered on the floor) create the impression of the scene being set outdoors.
Comment:The town of Požarevac is most famous for the Treaty of Požarevac/Treaty of Passarowitz (July 21, 1718), a pact signed at the end of the Austro-Turkish (1716–1718) and the Venetian-Turkish (1716–1718) Wars in Passarowitz/Požerevac (now Serbia). By its terms the Ottoman Empire lost substantial territories in the Balkans to Austria, thus marking the end of the Ottoman Empire's westward expansion. Požarevac was also the second capital of Serbian Prince Miloš Obrenović, where the first regular Serbian state court was established in 1821.
