Art Alone

Img. ID: 1109

© Center for Jewish Art, Photographer: Radovan, Zev,

Orpa, a young oriental girl with big, wide eyes and dark complexion is shown looking surprised and frightened. She is wearing an open dress made of wool with a very deep neck line while her neck is adorned with a chain of coins. She has many jewels on the front of her dress and on her hands. The most interesting element in her whole outfit is her strange and unfamiliar head-gear resembling two conical objects adorned with golden coins. The background of the picture is dark and there seems to be a palm tree in the distance.
