EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts Queen Elisabeth of Poland, born Archduchess of Austria, in a grand and ornate attire reflecting the opulence of the late medieval period. The portrait, created by Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck for his publication "Costumes, Artworks and Appliances from the Middle Ages to the 17th Century," showcases Elisabeth's regal presence and her exquisite fashion sense. Born in 1542 as Archduchess Anna of Austria, Elisabeth was the eldest daughter of Ferdinand I, Holy Roman Emperor, and Anna of Bohemia and Hungary. In 1563, she married King Sigismund II Augustus of Poland, marking the beginning of her reign as Queen of Poland. Elisabeth's attire in this portrait is a testament to the grandeur and intricacy of medieval fashion. The golden gown, adorned with intricate embroidery and embellished with precious gemstones, pearls, and other valuable materials, reflects the wealth and power of the Polish monarchy during this era. Her headdress, featuring an elaborate arrangement of pearls, jewels, and feathers, further emphasizes her regal status. The chromolithograph, produced by Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck in 1889, offers a fascinating glimpse into the fashion and history of the late medieval period. Elisabeth's portrait, with its intricate details and rich colors, serves as a reminder of the grandeur and opulence of this era and the powerful women who ruled during it.
