Meisje van het eiland Guam in Oceanië gaat naar de mis 1822

This lithograph, created in 1822 by French artist Jacques Etienne Victor Arago, depicts a young woman from Guam on her way to mass. The image highlights the traditional dress worn by women in Guam at that time, a long skirt, a blouse, and a flowing veil, which is being blown about by a strong wind. The work is part of a series of prints documenting the customs of various cultures, showcasing the artist's interest in ethnography. The print, now part of the Rijksmuseum's collection, offers a glimpse into the daily life and dress of women in Guam in the early 19th century.
