This hand-colored lithograph by Constantin Jiquidi depicts a Romani woman in traditional dress: linen chemise, decorative bodice, and layered skirts in contrasting colors, carrying a woven basket. The work employs the ethnographic style common to late-nineteenth-century European art, rendered in the comic and caricature traditions descended from Hogarth and Daumier. Such prints, often compiled in popular picture-sheets, documented regional folk costume through exaggerated physical and sartorial detail.
