Hallingdal Norwegian Traditional Bunad Costume Damsleth Norway Postcard 1945

Hallingdal, Numedal, Norway1945LinenExcellent

Norwegian illustrator Bjarne Damsleth painted this portrait of a woman in the Hallingdal bunad — richly embroidered black bodice, hand-painted plate, and a cat perched companionably on her shoulder — for N.W. Damm & Søn's collectible bunad series. The Hallingdal valley's traditional dress is instantly recognizable by its rosemaling floral embroidery, and Damsleth's series remains a favorite among Norwegian folk-costume collectors decades later.
