Woman of Albano (the tambourine player) 1853

Carl Haag's "Woman of Albano (the tambourine player)" (1853) is a watercolor painting depicting a young woman in traditional garb. The woman is holding a tambourine, which is characteristic of the region of Albano, near Rome, Italy. This painting is a great example of the artist's interest in documenting local customs and traditions, a common theme in his work. The detailed representation of the woman's clothing, as well as the muted tones of the watercolor, create a sense of realism and authenticity.
