Object:"Bulgarian folk dance"
Description:Full length studio group portrait of four girls and two boys, all in traditional attire, in front of a painted canvas backdrop, which creates the illusion of the scene being set in a park. The four girls and one of the boys are standing in a half circle, holding on to each other's belts. They are all wearing traditional peasant shoes (tsarvuli), and the belts of two of the girls are decorated with coins. Three of the girls are wearing flowers in their hair. A boy sitting on a cushion in front of the group is playing the flute.
Comment:Title is a translation of the given by the Austrian Museum of Folk Life and Folk Art title in German: "Bulgarischer Bauerntanz." Part of the women's attires are identical with those in VASE.00214 und VASE.00451.
