"Philippine Woman" folder

Cardboard. 21 x 29.7 cm.

Years earlier, the men and women engaged in agricultural activities in Cuba, Puerto Rico and the Philippines had already been portrayed with a very specific realistic sense, but in the mid-1890s the depictions acquired, in addition to a greater ethnographic richness, a monumental appearance, as Lorenzo Rocha's Philippine Woman (1895) shows. A detail of this work is reproduced in this practical folder in A4 format, which accurately depicts the racial and clothing characteristics that at the time were indicative of a culture different from that of the Spanish mainland.
