Rosario “Nena” Nieva Alminiana's Coming of Age

A wooden frame with a metal bamboo design containing a studio photograph of Rosario “Nena” Nieva Alminiana. She is wearing a floral terno dress and is posed in front of a decadent background. It was taken at her debut, a coming of age party when a girl turns 18. On the back there is writing in Spanish that was probably written by her Aunt Raquel. There is a watermark for a “M.Gomez”.
