1390 Gown Lined Noble Woman Waisted
EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite print depicts a noblewoman of the late 14th century in France, during the reign of Charles VI. Dressed in the fashion of the time, she wears a high-waisted lined gown that was popular during this period. The gown is made of rich fabric, likely wool or heavy silk, and is adorned with intricate embroidery and luxurious fur trimmings. The high waistline accentuates the woman's figure and is secured with a wide, decorative belt. The gown is also lined, providing both warmth and structure. The noblewoman's headdress is a complex arrangement of fabric and jewels, topped with a veil that falls over her shoulders and down her back. Her hair is likely worn under the veil, braided and styled in elaborate curls. She wears a pair of long, pointed-toe shoes with high heels, a common footwear choice for women of the nobility during this time. Charles VI, also known as Charles the Mad, ruled France from 1380 to 1422. This period was marked by political instability and the Hundred Years' War with England. Despite the turmoil, the French court continued to be a center of artistic and cultural innovation. The fashion of the time was influenced by Italian styles, as well as the prevailing Gothic aesthetic. This print offers a glimpse into the opulence and elegance of the French nobility during the late Middle Ages. The woman's regal bearing and intricately detailed costume serve as a reminder of the rich history and cultural traditions of the time. The high-waisted lined gown, with its luxurious fabrics and ornate embellishments, remains a symbol of the grandeur and sophistication of the medieval court.
