EDITORS COMMENTS
This color pen drawing depicts a noblewoman from the German-speaking regions during the late 16th century. The artwork, signed with the monogram "DM" by an unidentified German master, is a rare and exquisite example of the intricate detail and artistry of the time. The chromolithograph is derived from Hefner-Alteneck's seminal work, "Costumes, Artworks, and Appliances from the Middle Ages to the 17th Century," published in Frankfurt in 1889. Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck (1811-1903) was a renowned German museum curator, archaeologist, art historian, illustrator, and etcher who dedicated his career to preserving and documenting the rich cultural heritage of Europe. The noblewoman's attire reflects the opulence and elegance of the period. She wears a high-necked gown with a ruff collar, a fashionable accessory that was popular during the Renaissance. The gown is adorned with intricate embroidery and appliques, and is cinched at the waist with a girdle. The woman's elaborate necklace, featuring pearls and precious stones, adds to her regal appearance. The meticulous attention to detail in the drawing, from the delicate folds of the fabric to the intricate patterns of the embroidery, is a testament to the mastery of the German master who created it. This beautiful artwork provides a glimpse into the fashion and culture of the late 16th century, and serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy of European art history.
