EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the essence of Dutch society in the late 15th century, featuring two well-dressed men and a woman. The men, both clad in the traditional attire of the Dutch middle class during this period, wear dark, fitted doublets with long, flowing sleeves and breeches. Their high-waisted hose are held up by elaborate belts, adorned with intricate metal buckles. Atop their heads, they don the distinctive Dutch cap, known as a "beret," which features a round, flat crown and a narrow brim. The woman, with her pale green gown and fur-trimmed mantle, embodies the elegance and refinement of the Dutch aristocracy. Her gown, which falls to the ground, is adorned with delicate, gold trimming, adding an air of opulence. The mantle, draped over her shoulders, is lined with a luxurious fur, keeping her warm against the chill of the Dutch climate. Her headdress, a complex arrangement of fabric and pearls, completes her regal appearance. The muted color palette of the image, with its predominantly earthy tones, further emphasizes the rustic charm of the Dutch countryside. The rich textures and intricate details of the costumes, from the fur trimmings to the gold embellishments, serve as a testament to the wealth and prosperity of Dutch society during this era. This photograph, dating from approximately 1470-1485, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of simple pleasures, rustic beauty, and the enduring charm of Dutch culture.
