Instead of a veil, this Greek bride is wearing a small gold cloth hat. The brocade and velvet dress reaches down to the ground. Over this she is wearing a pinafore with a collarless bodice trimmed with gold or silk. The outer garment is of extremely fine linen, traditionally worn open, or with a belt, and always a few inches shorter than the dress. She is holding a rose, symbolising love and the marriage proposal.
Woman from the Island of Tinos
