EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving depicts Catherine of Aragon, maid of honor to Mary Tudor, the eldest daughter of King Henry VII of England, in the year 1496. Mary, who would later become queen of France as the wife of King Louis XII, is shown here in her youth, surrounded by the opulence and elegance of the Tudor court. Catherine is dressed in the latest fashion of the time, wearing a gable hood chaperon headdress adorned with hanging tails. The hood is supported by a band of ermine fur, adding a touch of luxury to the ensemble. Underneath, she wears a surtout in rich velvet, the open front revealing a damask petticoat. The surtout features full sleeves, a high neckline, and a belt that cinches the waist, accentuating the hourglass figure. The maid of honor accessorizes her outfit with a necklace and a fur belt, completing the look of grandeur and sophistication. The engraving is a beautiful representation of the Tudor era, with its intricate details and vibrant colors. It is a testament to the artistic skill of Georges Jacques Gatine, who created this engraving based on an illustration by Louis Marie Lante for the Galerie Francaise de Femmes Celebres in Paris in 1827. This image offers a glimpse into the world of the Tudor court, where beauty, fashion, and power intertwined to create a unique and captivating era in history.
