An elegantly dressed woman and her page, from a group of drawings depicting Peruvian dress 1843 - 1853

Francisco Fierro, known as Pancho, created this watercolor drawing depicting a Peruvian woman and her page in traditional dress. The woman, veiled in a dark shawl and wearing a light shawl over a brown dress, walks with her page holding a green shawl. This is one of a series of drawings made by the artist between 1843 and 1853, documenting the customs and fashion of Peruvian society. This work can be found in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
