Since I wrote the “Huchback” opinion, there are 3 more evidences to agree with it.
1. The knife in the belt, as Katana wrote
2. The item she holds is a tambourine. Please notice the circles.
3. I asked about the dress code of this woman and they told me that only the lower part of society (like a gipsy) would dress like this on the streets of central Europe in early 19th century. Even Disney studios knows that.

Also, the half man half goat figure is Pan, the ancient Greek god of shepherds and their flocks. He became “satanic” symbol when Christians took the political power. His sins were he enjoyed music, dance and making love in the woods. 2000 years later these are still crimes for some minds.
BTW the word “panic” comes from his name because he could inspire fear if he wished so. So he was a great ally for warriors. Athenians believed that with his help won the Marathon battle when Persians lost their guts.
