The girl is dressed in traditional attire, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of the area. She wears an intricately embroidered kechief, or headscarf, adorned with delicate floral patterns. Her jacket is embellished with gold braid, adding a regal touch to her outfit. The girl carries a basket on her back, suggesting that she may have been working in the fields or tending to her family's needs. The apron and petticoats she wears are also decorated with ribbons and intricate embroidery, adding to the overall beauty and elegance of her attire. The image is a handcoloured copperplate engraving, created by Georges Jacques Gatine after an illustration by Louis Marie Lante.
