This is a vintage lithograph depicting a woman in traditional Norwegian folk costume. The image is sepia-toned, giving it an aged appearance. The woman is standing in what appears to be an interior room with wooden walls and a wooden floor. She is wearing a long, white apron over a dark, fitted bodice and a full skirt. Her attire is heavily embroidered with colorful floral patterns around the bodice and neckline. She has a decorative headpiece with ribbons and flowers. She is holding a small, rectangular object in her hands. To the left of the woman is a window with multiple panes, and behind it, a glimpse of a landscape can be seen. In the lower left corner, there is a wooden chest with some writing on it, possibly a name or date. The walls are made of wooden planks, and the floor is also wooden, with visible grain. The overall style of the image is reminiscent of 19th-century folk art and ethnographic illustrations. The text at the bottom reads "22. Brud fra Vos.", which likely indicates the subject is a bride from Vos, a region in Norway.
