EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the defiant spirit of Inga Amundsdotter, a 76-year-old woman from Sjokksjokk, Lapland, in the late 1860s. The photograph was taken by Lotten von Duben during her husband Gustaf von Duben's ethnological expedition to Lapland. Dressed in traditional Saami clothing, Inga's posture exudes a sense of hostility and direct gaze that challenges the viewer. Her hat, adorned with intricate designs, sits atop her graying hair, framing her weathered yet expressive face. The muted sepia tones of the image add to the timeless and nostalgic feel, transporting us back to a different era. The clothing, with its vibrant colors and intricate patterns, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Saami people. This portrait is a valuable addition to the Nordic Museum's extensive collection of ethnographic and anthropological artifacts, providing insights into the lives of indigenous peoples during the 19th century. The image of Inga, with her arms folded and unyielding gaze, continues to captivate and inspire, reminding us of the importance of preserving and celebrating diverse cultural traditions.
