EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured portrait photograph, dating from the late 19th to early 20th century, features an enigmatic woman gazing out from behind a pair of birch trunks. The serene setting, filled with the delicate beauty of nature, is a perfect backdrop for her traditional attire, which hails from the region of Steraker in Sodermanland, Sweden. The folk costume, meticulously reconstructed around 1900, showcases the rich heritage and cultural significance of the time. The woman's clothing, consisting of a vibrant dress, intricately patterned hat, and ornate headdress, is a testament to the national romantic movement that swept through Scandinavia during this era. The suit, with its traditional elements, is a beautiful illustration of the enduring connection between the people and their land. The photograph, hand coloured or hand tinted, adds an extra layer of depth and allure to the image. The woman's figure, framed by the birch trees, exudes a sense of tranquility and strength, making this a truly captivating work of art. This evocative portrait, with its rich history and cultural significance, is a must-see for anyone interested in the arts, fashion, or the history of Sweden and Nordic culture. The image is currently on display at the Nordiska Museet Foundation (Nordic Museum) in Stockholm, Sweden, where it continues to inspire and delight visitors from around the world.
