Portret van een vrouw in klederdracht van Corfu before 1905

This black and white portrait, created before 1905 by Borri & Fils, showcases a woman in traditional Corfiot dress. The intricate detail of the embroidered bodice, ornate belt, and flowing skirt highlights the craftsmanship and cultural significance of Corfiot clothing. The woman’s stoic expression and direct gaze convey a sense of pride and dignity, offering a glimpse into the lives of Corfiot women in the early 20th century. The photograph's small dimensions, measuring 134mm in height and 89mm in width, suggest it was likely a studio portrait, perhaps intended for personal use or as a souvenir.
