"Bondekone fra Omegnen af Athen" (Peasant Woman from the Surroundings of Athens), a pencil drawing by Danish artist Martinus Rørbye (1803-1848), showcases a woman in traditional Greek attire. Created in 1835, the artwork displays a delicate touch and attention to detail, capturing the folds of her clothing and the intricate embroidery on her dress. Rørbye, known for his travels and meticulous sketches, used his artistic talent to document the cultural diversity of Greece, and this drawing serves as a visual record of the country's folk costumes.
