EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th century image depicts a servant woman from Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain, adorned in traditional attire. The woman wears a redezilla, an intricately designed headdress made of silk net, which adds an elegant touch to her simple yet distinctive outfit. The check fichu, chemise, petticoat, and black apron are common elements of the servant's wardrobe during this era. The woman's hands are adorned with keys, symbolizing her role as a domestic servant, while a crucifix around her neck signifies her religious faith. This handcoloured copperplate engraving, created by Georges Jacques Gatine after an illustration by Louis Marie Lante, is a captivating reminder of the rich cultural heritage of Catalonia during the 19th century. The intricate details of the woman's clothing and accessories, as well as the subtle shading and tonal variations in the handcolouring, make this print a stunning addition to any collection of historical costume art. The image offers a glimpse into the daily life of a servant woman in Barcelona during this time, providing a valuable insight into the fashion and social customs of the past.
