Photograph of an old lady and two young persons no. 045

Street photograph, most probably taken in the Public Garden in Nicosia, outside the Paphos Gate. It shows an old lady standing between two young persons, a woman on her right and a man on her left, and holding a bunch of flowers. She wears a two-piece black çarşaf over a light-coloured inner garment. The upper part covers the hair and part of the forehead. Her black bar shoes are fastened with a buckle and her stockings are white. The young lady wears a modern variation of the çarşaf, a skirt long enough just to cover the knees, combined with a chequered, fitted jacket over what seems to be a blouse. The çarşaf covers the head, being tied around the forehead, and comes down at the back, leaving the hair visible below it on both sides. She wears low-heeled black shoes over white stockings. The man is dressed in a European-style two-piece suit, a woollen knitted pullover over a dark-coloured shirt and a striped scarf around the neck. Black leather shoes and belt, a fresh carnation on the lapel of the jacket and a handkerchief in the pocket, complete his attire.
