interesting. this picture is from a temporary exhibition called "The Jews of Morocco" at the "House of Photography" in Marrakesh, the picture was labeled as "Portrait of a Jewish Woman, Tangier (1880)" from George Washington Wilson. Here is more about the exhibition: https://maisondelaphotographie.ma/2020/01/08/les-juifs-au-maroc/

Here are links to some exemples of this outfit which is specific to The region of Tlemcen in the west of Algeria:
