    C26A6B51-B06E-4A29-A9F9-158E9F116A15.jpeg The blonde girl and her dress make me think one of those Nordic places. Painting is on a tile. Other tiles it came with were from Spain. I guess the colors on her dress match Spain’ flag. I’m guessing Spain. Framed in NY so not much help there I don’t think.

    Is she blonde or is that a head covering? May we see the other tiles?

    It looks like a scarf to me. Maybe Portugal?

    Kinda looks like they're dancing a jota from Aragon but not quite. That's why seeing the other tiles would be helpful. This may be one of a theme.

    Yes, it does. The woman's costume isn't from Aragon though. It could be Portuguese, and I have seen tiles like this from Portugal.
    Seeing the other tiles definitely helps.

    That may be meant to be a drop spindle she's holding.

    Yes, they often use those colours in depictions of regional dress. Not true to life, but sweet.
    Or sending flying through the air?:nailbiting:

    The tile is framed and backed so unfortunately no view of the reverse to show. I believe I posted most of the others already separately but I probably should have put them here too. I think I deleted the photos already. The best one I actually haven’t posted yet but I’ll get around to it sometime!
