The image, taken from Robert von Spalart's Historical Picture of the Costumes of the Principal People of Antiquity and of the Middle Ages (1796), showcases a nobleman from Bohemia, a historical region in present-day Czech Republic. The nobleman is depicted in full regalia, wearing a richly embroidered doublet and hose, adorned with intricate gold and silver thread. His collar is embellished with pearls and precious stones, symbolizing his high social status. A fur-trimmed cloak draped over his shoulders adds an extra layer of warmth and elegance.
