EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts Jacqueline de la Grange, the esteemed wife of Jean Montagu, who held the prestigious title of Grand Minister of France under King Charles VI during the late 14th century. Jacqueline's elegant attire includes an escoffion hat adorned with a veil, and an armorial robe that proudly displays the coats of arms of both herself and her husband. The escoffion hat, a popular headpiece during the late Middle Ages, is embellished with intricate bourrelets, or decorative bands, and a veil that cascades down her back. The armorial robe, a symbol of her noble status, is richly decorated with the Montagu coat of arms, featuring eagles and an azure cross, and her own personal coat of arms, which consists of black birds on a scarlet ground. The meticulously detailed engraving, created by Georges Jacques Gatine after an illustration by Louis Marie Lante, captures the essence of Jacqueline's regal presence. The use of handcoloring adds depth and vibrancy to the image, bringing the intricate heraldic designs to life. This print is a testament to the opulence and grandeur of the French court during the late Middle Ages, and offers a glimpse into the world of the nobility and their intricate system of heraldry and personal symbolism.
