EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print captures the essence of a French bourgeois merchant from the reign of King Louis XII (1462-1515). Dating back to the early 16th century, around 1510, this historical image offers a glimpse into the fashion and lifestyle of the prosperous merchant class during this period. The subject wears a voluminous doublet, made of richly textured fabric, with a high standing collar and long, flowing sleeves. The doublet is secured with a belt, accentuating the waist, and is worn over a linen shirt and hose. A simple, high-necked linen tunic, or surcoat, covers the doublet, adding an extra layer of warmth and elegance. The merchant's attire is completed with a pair of hose held up by garters, and a simple pair of leather shoes. The merchant's facial expression is serious and thoughtful, suggesting a man deeply engaged in his business dealings. He carries a large, leather-bound ledger under his arm, filled with records and notes, while a quill pen and inkpot are visible in his left hand. The merchant's fur-trimmed hat, or bonnet rouge, sits atop his head, protecting him from the elements and signaling his status as a successful businessman. The background of the print is simple, with a plain, textured wall and a wooden table, upon which rests a quill pen, inkpot, and a stack of parchment. The overall effect is one of quiet, focused industry, reflecting the hard work and dedication required to succeed as a merchant during the reign of King Louis XII. This print offers a unique and intriguing look into the world of the French bourgeois merchant class during the early 16th century. It is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of France during this period, and a reminder of the importance of hard work, dedication, and perseverance in achieving success.
