The clothing of the mondine consisted of:
cotton stockings and a handkerchief pulled over the face, as protection against the stings of the many insects that infested these marshy environments;
wide-brimmed hat, or a handkerchief (of their choice), to shield themselves from the sun;
shorts or skirts.
From the sculpture one can see the author's mastery in depicting in great detail each part of the clothing
