EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured lithograph depicts a bourgeoise woman of Saumur, France, during the reign of Henri III (1574-1589). The image is based on a portrait in Roger de Gaignières gallery portfolio IX 135 and 156 from Le Bibliophile Jacob's "Costumes Historiques de la France," published in Paris in 1852 by Administration de Librairie. The woman wears the fashionable attire of the late 16th century, reflecting the opulence and elegance of the French aristocracy. Her high-waisted gown, adorned with intricate lace and embroidery, is cinched at the waist with a decorative belt. A voluminous farthingale supports the full skirt, which is layered with petticoats to create a full, rounded silhouette. Her collar is high and lace-edged, and she wears a lace cap on her head, which is held in place with a ribbon. The woman's hands are delicately folded in her lap, and she gazes off into the distance with a serene expression. Her hair is styled in elaborate curls, and she wears a pearl necklace and earrings. The background is simple, with a plain wall and a small table with a vase of flowers. This image offers a glimpse into the fashion and lifestyle of the French bourgeoisie during the late Renaissance period. The intricate details of the woman's clothing and the attention to historical accuracy make this a valuable and beautiful addition to any collection of historical costumes or French art.
