The links below focus on images of Romani, an ethnic group often referred to as “Gypsies.” Some of these may very well have been artists’ models dressed in fanciful or exotic clothing that have been subsequently labelled by art historians as “Gypsy.” For more information on Romani clothing, see these links.
