Portret van Elisabeth zu Wied in Roemeense klederdracht before 1889

This black and white photograph, created before 1889 by an anonymous artist, depicts Elisabeth zu Wied in Romanian traditional dress. The portrait captures her seated, with a relaxed posture, and gazing directly at the viewer. The detailed embroidery on her clothing and the intricate patterns on the surrounding objects suggest a focus on the cultural traditions and craftmanship of Romania, while the formal pose reflects the portraiture style of the 19th century. This photograph serves as a visual document of both a specific individual and a cultural practice.
