EDITORS COMMENTS
A Regal Figure of Dutch Winter Fashion - A 18th Century Merchant's Wife with an Elegant Ermine Muff This exquisite print captures the essence of 18th century Dutch high society, as depicted in the image of a wealthy merchant's wife, dressed in her finest winter attire. The blonde woman, adorned with an intricately laced collar, gazes serenely at the viewer with a sense of refined elegance and sophistication. The richness of her costume is evident in the luxurious fabrics and ornate details, such as the voluminous skirt, the delicate lace cuffs, and the sumptuous velvet bodice. But it is the large ermine muff that steals the show, a symbol of wealth and status in the Dutch society of the time. The ermine fur, with its distinctive white spots on a black background, adds a touch of grandeur and opulence to her winter wardrobe. The woman's attire is a testament to the extravagance and luxury of the Dutch Golden Age, a period of prosperity and cultural flourishing in the Netherlands. The intricate lacework, the elegant collar, and the large ermine muff are all indicative of the wealth and status that the merchant's wife enjoys. The print also provides a glimpse into the daily life of the Dutch elite, with the woman's warm and inviting expression suggesting a life of comfort and leisure. The winter scene outside the window adds to the sense of coziness and warmth, as the woman sits by the fire, her hands protected by the large ermine muff. This beautiful print is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of the Dutch merchant class during the 18th century. It is a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage that continues to inspire and captivate us today.
