Woman in traditional Dutch costume in Scheveningen, Netherlands, 1966. The dark shawl in this black-and-white image (black I assume) is an adaptation of the dress worn during mourning.
Background
Summer of 1966 – at the age of 14– I took this candid paparazzi style close-up photo with the all-manual Voigtländer Vito camera below from the beach at the North Sea , looking up at daily life of these women wearing traditional Dutch costumes on the Boulevard in Scheveningen, Netherlands.
