This exquisite print depicts a French lady of the court of Charles VIII, captured in an intimate moment of relaxation in her informal attire. The image, dating back to 1491, offers a rare glimpse into the private world of the French royal court during the late Middle Ages. Charles VIII, known for his patronage of the arts and his military campaigns, ruled France from 1483 to 1498. The elegant lady in this print is dressed in a flowing, loose-fitting gown, adorned with intricate embroidery and delicate lace. Her hair is styled in elaborate braids and curls, held in place by a jeweled hairpin. She wears a necklace and earrings, adding to her regal appearance. The informal setting of the print reveals the comfort and luxury enjoyed by the ladies of the French court. The lady is seated in a sumptuously furnished room, surrounded by plush fabrics and ornate decorations. A small table is set with delicate china and silverware, suggesting a leisurely meal or tea time. The historical significance of this print lies in its portrayal of the daily life of a French court lady during the late Middle Ages.
