This stunning print captures the essence of elegance and style in 19th century Normandy. The Woman of Fecamp, depicted in her traditional attire, exudes grace and sophistication as she stands in the port with the church of Notre-Dame-du-Salut visible on the hill behind her.
Her tall Alsation lace hat, known as a serre-tete, is adorned only to the temples, showcasing a simple yet refined fashion sense.
