EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite black and white portrait captures the ethereal beauty and elegant grace of a Circassian woman in the early 20th century. The Circassian people, originally from the Northwestern Caucasus region, have long been renowned for their striking features and refined manners. This image, taken in 1913, showcases the woman's delicate features, including her high cheekbones, almond-shaped eyes, and elegant neckline. Her flowing hair, adorned with intricate braids and adornments, cascades down her back, adding to her regal appearance. The woman's attire is also noteworthy, with a traditional Circassian dress that features intricate embroidery and a vibrant, floral pattern. The dress is accessorized with a intricately beaded belt and a pair of ornate earrings, adding to the overall elegance of the portrait. Despite the passage of time, this image offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the Circassian people, and the enduring beauty and grace that has long been associated with them. The portrait also serves as a reminder of the historical connections between the Circassian people and Russia, as many Circassians were forcibly relocated to other parts of the Russian Empire during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This portrait is a testament to the timeless beauty and elegance of Circassian women, and a valuable historical record of a people and their traditions.
