Role models. Many female dancers dealt with given role structures and criticized gender specific role attributions. The nun is seen as embodiment of a nonsexual woman who dedicates her life to God. Hence the play with the nun’s costume is a game with female physicality and sexuality. Here we meet Mura Ziperowitsch, who by wearing a nun similar costume refers to the female corporality.

(*) Even though this photo is uncredited (and undated) on source (Theatermuseum Wien), note that the image bears a blindstamp with the date (1904) with the same typography as the third photo in this post and in the same place (lower left). Furthermore, the dance costume and hairstyle in the “anonymous” photo is just the same as in the image found in Alamy (second image of the post); that said, it is highly probable that the maker of this image is also Atelier / Hof-Atelier Elvira.
