notes:
|
Text explains that the woman on the right is pulling back a manto from her face, an article of dress that usually concealed the face. She also wears a Banda Patriotica in order to honor the newly-established Patriot Government. Women who dress like this are known as tapadas. The woman on the left is wearing evening clothes.
