Original artwork description:

Costume from the last century in Zeeland, the south west of the Netherlands, there where I live.
This elegant costume is very destinctive with its very beautiful, large, stiffly starched hat. The "kissers" are large gold squares worn at the temples. The detail of the hat in olden days signified whether the person was of the Protestant or Catholic faith.
