About the piece
Painted in 1896 by Josep Tapiró Baró, this masterful watercolor captures a Berber bride in Tangier. The artist's meticulous technique brings to life the weight of the golden ornaments, the luster of the pearls, and the delicate transparency of the lace veil, creating a work of both ethnographic importance and profound aesthetic beauty.
