EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts a beautiful stained glass window portrait of a lady from the late Middle Aages, specifically from around 1495. The lady is shown wearing a fashionable hennin hat adorned with a tiara, a popular headpiece among the European aristocracy during this period. The intricately designed hat is accompanied by a long, flowing veil that covers the lady's shoulders and cascades down her back. The lady's portrait is situated next to an unknown state's armorial shield, helm, and crest. The shield displays a distinctive image of a wicker fence, adding an element of mystery to the portrait. The intricate details of the shield, helm, and crest show the high level of craftsmanship and attention to detail during this era. This illustration is from the extensive collection of Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck, a renowned German museum curator, archaeologist, art historian, illustrator, and etcher. Hefner-Alteneck meticulously documented and illustrated various costumes, artworks, and appliances from the Middle Ages to the 17th century. This particular illustration was lithographed by C.B. The scene is set against a colorful backdrop of ropes, threads, buttons, and various textiles, reminiscent of a chandler's shop or a haberdashery. The intricate embroidery on the lady's dress and the carpet beneath her feet add to the overall richness and opulence of the image. The illustration also features a monkey perched on a counter, adding a playful and whimsical touch to the otherwise formal portrait. The intricate details of the scene, from the lady's hennin hat to the wicker fence on the shield, showcase the exquisite artistry and craftsmanship of the time. This image is now housed in the Nuremberg Museum and is a testament to the fashion, art, and history of the late Middle Ages.
