Mixed Media Isabel Folk Dress Souvenir Art From Lanzarote Canarias Appraisal

Mixed Media "Isabel" Folk Dress Souvenir Art from Lanzarote (Canarias)

This item is a charming mixed-media souvenir artwork depicting a stylized female figure, possibly representing a Canary Islander in traditional or folk attire, identified by the name 'Isabel' handwritten in cursive next to her right leg. The artwork features a printed or painted base image with three-dimensional textile and ribbon embellishments. The figure is shown from the waist up, wearing a yellow straw-like hat adorned with pink flowers, a white lace top, a red laced corset, a light blue pleated apron with red stitching, and a multi-colored skirt. The skirt is particularly notable, constructed from horizontal bands of various textured ribbons in colors including green, light pink, yellow, red, and possibly others, creating a tactile and vibrant effect. The background is a painted scene of a field with tall grasses or wheat stalks and small red flowers. The base appears to be a piece of cardstock or heavy paper, exhibiting some visible wear around the edges, including slight discoloration and minor creasing, indicative of age and typical handling for a souvenir item. The overall condition suggests it is well-preserved for its type, with the textile elements appearing largely intact. A small print in the bottom left corner reads '102 - LANZAROTE (Canarias)', specifying the origin of the souvenir. The craftsmanship, particularly the application of the ribbons, suggests a handmade or semi-handmade souvenir quality, popular in tourist destinations. The style appears to be mid-20th century, likely 1950s or 1960s, reflecting the aesthetic of collectible travel memorabilia from that era.
