Description: | The unknown sitter wears a head-dress and a white blouse vaguely inspired by traditional Italian costume. Their simplicity contrasts with the elaborate design of her earrings and gold pendant, made in imitation of ancient ornaments. This type of archaeological jewellery, produced by Rome-based firms such as Castellani, was fashionable during the 1850s and 1860s. Size: 55.9 x 45.7 cm. | License: | http://www.thebowesmuseum.org.uk/terms/ | Rights holder: | The Bowes Museum | Subjects: | 1619 | Source: | Bowes-OAI | Identifier: | http://www.thebowesmuseum.org.uk/collect... | Go to resource |
