A woman wearing the saya viewed from behind, from a group of drawings depicting Peruvian dress 1843 - 1853

This drawing, created by Peruvian artist Francisco Fierro between 1843 and 1853, depicts a woman wearing traditional Peruvian dress called a "saya." The woman is viewed from behind, highlighting the intricate details of the saya, a long, black skirt with pleats, worn with a white blouse and a black shawl covering her head and shoulders. The drawing is a valuable record of 19th-century Peruvian fashion and is part of a larger series by Fierro, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
