EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored copperplate engraving depicts a Polish woman from the 16th century, dressed in traditional attire for the harsh winter season. The image is taken from Robert von Spalart's Historical Picture of the Costumes of the Principal People of Antiquity and of the Middle Ages, published in Vienna in 1837. The Polish woman is shown wearing a voluminous, fur-lined robe, which was a common garment for the upper classes during this period. The intricately designed garment features a high neckline, long sleeves, and a full skirt, all adorned with elaborate embroidery and decorative elements. A fur-trimmed mantle is draped over her shoulders, providing an additional layer of warmth against the cold winter air. The woman's headdress is equally impressive, consisting of a tall, conical hat covered in velvet and adorned with pearls and other precious stones. Her hair is styled in intricate braids, which are also adorned with pearls and beads. The meticulous attention to detail in this engraving is a testament to the high artistic standards of the time. The use of handcoloring adds depth and vibrancy to the image, bringing the Polish woman and her winter attire to life. This engraving offers a fascinating glimpse into the fashion and culture of Poland during the 16th century, providing valuable insights into the daily lives and traditions of the people of this historic European nation.
