 Can the colour be made more natural please.

A bit of a rough surface as well as funny colour

Thanks,  I wonder what she was dressed up as, looks a bit eastern to me.

I would think she is dressed as a gypsy girl or a Turkish dancer. It is a very elaborate backcloth.

Very odd backdrop. Looks like a bomb site but I digress.
She looks to be some sort of performer. Her slippers & costume indicate dancer.
Whether pro or amateur it's hard to say but many professional entertainers had their photo's taken & they became very collectable. Commonly called stock photo's.

Does anybody like to make a guess to what she is holding in her hand?

I thought there might be a semi circle loop with bells attached and she had her hand behind a downward bar...but it might be me just trying to make sense of it Pat

I think it's a tambourine - just seen it in bright daylight!
