Salut Claude,
Une silhouette tout en contraste avec ce vętement noir qui tranche sur le fond de mur clair et avec ce pain doré, bien vu męme si la netteté est un peu juste.

Salut Claude,la qualite' des details n'est pas le top,mais c'est une photo tres vieille et un document historique des habillements des vieilles femmes au debut des annes 1970. Une peinture ou presque,souvien un peu les femmes du sud de l'Italie. Bon WE et merci,Luciano

Hello Claude,
I was amazed to see this woman dressing in such an old-fashioned way. Looking at the photo information I understood the reason. Then I also understood why the quality wasn't absolutely first class. But, as with my own old photos, the value of a document from nearly half a century ago is worth a lot more than technical perfection.
Kind regards,
Gert

Bonjour Claude,

Avant d'ouvrir l'onglet, je me disais que cette dame était un digne représentante du sičcle dernier et en voyant la date de la prise de vue j'en ai eu la confirmation. Un beau retour dans le temps.

Amicalement

Serge

Hello Claude

A masterpiece here in the making. I would have bet this could have been made into an excellent oil painting. I like everything about this image. I was just becoming a teenager when this was taken. Very nice image of culture.

Dear Claude,

This looks rather like a painting, maybe something from the Netherlands from the 15-16th century, but I like the result anyway.

Best Wishes,
Gy

Hi Claude
you mentioned 'typically dressed lady'
so what's the style back then? most women in the local area dressed in attire like this??

quite the hat as well.
she looks very intimidating
cheers
