EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the essence of traditional Singhalese culture in the late 19th century. The young woman is dressed in elaborate ethnic attire, complete with showy jewelry that sparkles against her dark hair and skin. Her intricate earrings and bracelet add a touch of elegance to her ensemble, while the sitar resting on her knees hints at her musical talents. Seated gracefully on a carpet, she exudes poise and grace as she gazes confidently into the camera. The black and white print adds a timeless quality to the image, allowing us to appreciate every detail of her traditional clothing and accessories. Photographed by W.H.L. & Co., this portrait not only showcases the beauty of Singhalese fashion but also provides valuable insight into the cultural practices of this population in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka). It serves as a reminder of the rich heritage and traditions that have been passed down through generations. This print from Alinari Archives in Florence is a true work of art, capturing a moment frozen in time that continues to captivate viewers with its beauty and cultural significance.
