Description: | The background landscape place this young girl in her native country, Switzerland. She is wearing the traditional dress of the Bern canton, and more exactly that of the Mittelland region. Her head-dress is made of velvet, horse-hair lace and chenille. A smaller version of it is still worn nowadays. The painting is partly unfinished, as can be seen from the flowers she is holding and the top part of the head-dress, where the lace detailing was never completed. | Subjects: | portrait; landscape | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Swiss School Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=9003... | Go to resource |
