In Bavaria the dirndl and woollen jackets are equally typical articles of smart attire as a suit, dinner jacket or little black dress. This Miesbach Woman, designed by Resl Schröder-Lechner in 1937, shows just how intricate and special the traditional costumes, mostly handmade, are to this day. Wholly in keeping, in formal terms, with the tradition of 19th-century Alpine genre figures, this vivacious figure with her delicately formed features slightly resembles the Austrian artist, who died in 2000, who made her.
