The basis of this image rests in its colors. The first thing I noticed was how red ties the image together. The red decoration at the throat is echoed by the mannequin’s red lips, off-red hair, and the red shawl in the background. The blue shawl – a complementary primary color – matching the white dress and white shirts hanging at left, gives the overall image a red, white, and blue motif. Since Moroccan culture was greatly affected by the presence of the French from 1912-1956, perhaps this display is a subtle reference to the French tricolor?
