EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph depicts Spanish noblewomen from the late 16th century, showcasing their elegant attire for both summer and winter seasons. On the left, a noblewoman dons summer clothing, with her slender figure accentuated by a fitted bodice and voluminous, slashed sleeves. The vibrant colors of her gown, adorned with intricate embroidery and lace, reflect the warmth and vitality of the sunny season. She accessorizes with a delicate veil, a fan to keep cool, and a fashionable hat with a wide brim. On the right, the noblewoman is dressed for the colder weather, wearing a heavy, fur-lined coat that covers her entire body. The coat's rich fabric and luxurious furs exude opulence and luxury. Her hat, with its tall, conical shape and fur trim, protects her from the elements. Her face is veiled, and she clutches a warm muff to shield her hands from the cold. This stunning illustration is a testament to the intricate detail and artistry of the time, created by Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck, a renowned German museum curator, archaeologist, art historian, illustrator, and etcher. The chromolithograph was lithographed by C. Regnier and is an exquisite example of the artworks and appliances from the Middle Ages to the 17th century, as documented in Hefner-Alteneck's comprehensive publication.
