This image showcases a young girl from the Canton of Solothurn in Switzerland during the 19th century. Dressed in traditional attire, she wears a high-waisted petticoat and apron, accentuated by a chemise featuring voluminous puff sleeves. Atop her head sits a flat straw hat, adorned with ribbons and bows, adding a playful touch to her ensemble. A black velvet toquet, adorned with rosebuds, covers her hair, revealing her long, unmarried pigtails.
