EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcolored copperplate print depicts Bertha, the beloved daughter of King Lothair II of France, born from his relationship with his concubine Waldrada. The image, drawn and engraved by the renowned artist Leopold Massard for the publication "French Costumes from King Clovis to Our Days," offers a captivating glimpse into medieval European fashion and the elegance of the royal court. Bertha is depicted wearing a veil, which was a common practice among noblewomen of the time, signifying modesty and chastity. Her attire consists of two tunics, the outer one adorned with intricate gold cuffs and embroidery, reflecting the wealth and status of her royal lineage. The inner tunic is simpler, suggesting the practicality and comfort required for daily life in the castle. The meticulous detail in the print showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of the era, with the delicate folds of the fabric, the intricate patterns on the cuffs, and the realistic rendering of Bertha's expressive features. The use of handcoloring adds a vibrant and lifelike quality to the image, making it a true masterpiece of historical art. This portrait of Bertha, the daughter of King Lothair II and his concubine Waldrada, offers a fascinating glimpse into the fashion and culture of medieval Europe. The intricate details and stunning visual quality of the print make it a must-have for any history or art enthusiast's collection.
