Studio portrait of Sojka Garašanin

Full-length shot of a little girl dressed in folk attire. She is wearing a white embroidered shirt under a 'jelek' (short vest) and a ''pregača'' (traditional embroidered apron with a geometric pattern). A little woven basket has been placed in front of her. The props in the studio are creating the impression of the scene being set outdoors..Sojka is probably short for Sofija. She is probably a granddaughter of Ilija Garašanin's, who is remembered for having been the first Serbian politician who had a genuine political program, designed to prevent Austrian and Russian influence in Serbia and in the remaining Slav populated parts of the Ottoman Empire. He wrote the Načertanije, a political document which stated the goals of liberating the South Slavs and unifying Serbian territories. His aim was to place Serbia in the ranks of other European states
