[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 222138, member: 2844"]Welcome Antiquer, here's the first Dutch person, and collector of Dutch regional dress, reporting for duty:) This scene is in The Netherlands, and painted in the 19th century, a time when most people wore regional dress (streekdracht). And many types of regional dress did have outrageously short skirts above the ankle. Not just in The Netherlands, but also in Germany and other parts of Europe. Don't be fooled by the top hat of the man with the cane, the top hat features a lot in Dutch regional dress. I don't think this was painted in the province of North Holland, did he also paint in other parts of the country? I am thinking east, possibly southeast. Who is the painter, by the way? The building is the back of a church, the rounded choir part. I don't think it is a sunday, though. The woman on the right is carrying a basket, so it could be market day. And market was never on sunday, it was a calvinist country after all.[/QUOTE]
