Object:Studio portrait of two women in folk attire
Description:Full length shot of two young women in front of a painted canvas backdrop, which creates the illusion of the scene being set in nature. The two women are jointly holding a piece of cloth in their hands. Both are wearing belts adorned with coins, bracelets, and richly decorated headdresses. Behind the couple one can see the stands designed to help the models stand up straight.
