EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite print depicts a French lady of the late fifteenth century, circa 1480. The woman is elegantly dressed in the fashion of the time, showcasing the opulence and refinement of the French aristocracy during this period. Her voluminous gown is adorned with intricate embroidery and rich fabrics, such as velvet and satin, which were popular choices for the upper classes. The delicate lace collar and cuffs add a feminine touch to her attire, while the fur-lined mantle provides both warmth and a sense of luxury. The lady's headdress, known as a hennin, is a distinctive feature of late medieval women's fashion. This tall, conical hat was often worn with a veil and was a symbol of high status and wealth. The lady's jewelry, including her pearl necklace and rings, further emphasize her affluence. The print also provides a glimpse into the daily life of a French noblewoman during the late fifteenth century. The background scene shows a bustling marketplace, with vendors selling various goods and people going about their business. The lady, however, remains detached from the hustle and bustle, her gaze fixed on the viewer with a regal air, reminding us of the privileged world she inhabits. This print is a valuable historical record of the fashion and lifestyle of the French aristocracy during the late fifteenth century. It offers us a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and elegance of this bygone era.
