This exquisite handcoloured lithograph depicts a noblewoman of the reign of King Richard II of England, dressed in a stunning sky blue gown adorned with white embroidered lilies, symbolizing the king's crest. The regal attire is further enhanced by a luxurious fur trim. The woman proudly displays the king's badge or cognizance, a white hart with a golden crown on its neck, signifying Richard II's heraldic emblem. The image is based on various historical sources, including the works of Caxton, Froissart, Gower, Chaucer, and Confessio Amantis. These texts provide valuable insights into the fashion and culture of the late 14th century, allowing us to appreciate the intricate details of this beautiful dress.
