EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored copperplate print depicts Margaret of Bar, the beloved wife of Henry V, Count of Luxembourg, during the medieval era. Margaret, born around 1220, was a prominent figure in European history, known for her beauty, intelligence, and political acumen. Her elegant attire, as captured in this exquisite engraving by Leopold Massard, reflects the opulence and refinement of the time. Margaret's outfit consists of several layers, starting with a simple bonnet adorned with a chaperon, a loose veil that covers the head and shoulders. The bonnet is embellished with ermine fur, a symbol of nobility and royalty. Over her robe, she wears a surcoat, a loose, sleeveless garment, featuring the distinctive arms of the House of Luxembourg. The surcoat is adorned with intricate embroidery, adding to its grandeur. Beneath the surcoat, Margaret wears a long, flowing robe, which is likely made of luxurious fabric such as velvet or silk. The robe is cinched at the waist with a belt, accentuating her figure. The final layer of her ensemble is a coat, which is also adorned with ermine fur at the collar and cuffs. This stunning portrait of Margaret of Bar, Countess of Luxembourg, offers a glimpse into the fashion and elegance of the medieval period. The intricate details of her attire, expertly captured through the handcolored copperplate engraving by Leopold Massard, serve as a testament to the artistic skill and craftsmanship of the time.
