EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored illustration, titled "Woman of Milan," showcases the opulence and grandeur of fashion during the 16th century. The woman, dressed in a voluminous red and orange silk gown, embodies the rich textiles and vibrant colors that characterized the era. Her hair is elegantly contained in a blue silk hairnet, adding a contrasting pop of color to the ensemble. This illustration is a masterpiece from the historical costumes series, "Costumes historiques des XVIe, XVIIe et XVIIIe siecles" (Historical costumes of the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries), published in Paris in 1867 by Georges Duplessis. The illustration was handcolored by Edmond Lechevallier-Chevignard and lithographed by A. Didier, L. Flameng, and F. Laguillermie. The intricate details of the woman's dress, from the intricate patterns on the fabric to the delicate folds and drapery, are a testament to the skill and artistry of the time. The use of handcoloring further enhances the image, adding depth and richness to the already stunning design. This illustration provides a glimpse into the fashion history of the 16th century, a time when clothing was not only a means of protection but also a symbol of wealth and status. The Woman of Milan represents the epitome of elegance and luxury during this period, and continues to captivate viewers with her timeless beauty and grace.
