The Portrait of Sofia Spuderca

Sofia Spuderca, Zoe Popp’s daughter, was married to the confectioner Teodor Spuderca. The young bride wears her black hair braided in rich braids falling down her back. Her hairstyle is adorned with a long transparent veil decorated with flowers and jasmine buds, symbolizing innocence. Earrings decorated with small pearl pendants and a gold Christian cross with small diamonds emphasize her grace. Her shoulders are covered only by a veil of transparent lace and airy flowers.
