1. Title: "A Noblewoman of Milan in the 15th Century: An Elegant Portrait of Fashion and Wealth" This exquisite handcolored illustration, drawn and lithographed by Paul Mercuri with text by Camille Bonnard, offers a captivating glimpse into the fashionable world of a noblewoman from Milan during the 15th century. The image, taken from the esteemed publication "Historical Costumes from the 12th to 15th Centuries," published by Levy Fils in Paris in 1860, showcases the opulence and refinement of the Milanese aristocracy during this period. The noblewoman is depicted wearing an elegant and intricately designed dress, adorned with delicate floral patterns and rich fabrics. She wears a high-necked bodice, which is cinched at the waist with a wide belt, accentuating her slender figure. The voluminous skirt of her dress is gathered at the hips and falls in soft folds to the ground, revealing her elegant shoes with high heels and pointed toes. A veil, draped over her head and secured with a diadem, adds an air of mystery and sophistication to her appearance. The veil is held in place by a delicate fillet, adorned with pearls and precious stones. A luxurious cape, made of the finest velvet, is draped over her shoulders, providing both warmth and an additional layer of elegance. This noblewoman's attire reflects the wealth and status of her Milanese background. The intricate designs, rich fabrics, and fine details all serve to highlight her beauty and sophistication, making this a truly stunning portrait of fashion and history. The illustration, with its meticulous attention to detail and vibrant colors, offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of 15th-century Milanese fashion and the elegant noblewomen who wore these stunning garments.
