EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored copperplate engraving depicts a Spanish woman of the 14th century, specifically identified as a woman from the Biscay region in the later Middle Ages. 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 1796. The woman is dressed in traditional attire of the time, which includes a long, flowing gown with a fitted bodice and a voluminous skirt. Her hair is styled in intricate braids and adorned with a delicate headpiece. She wears a necklace, earrings, and a brooch, all intricately detailed in the engraving. The woman's posture is regal and confident, reflecting the pride and dignity of the Spanish people during this era. The Biscay region, located in the northern part of Spain, was known for its maritime traditions and thriving economy during the Middle Ages. This woman's attire reflects the region's rich cultural heritage, which was influenced by both the Mediterranean and the Atlantic worlds. The meticulous detail and vibrant colors of this engraving provide a glimpse into the fashion and lifestyle of the Spanish people during the 14th century. The historical accuracy of the image, as depicted in Spalart's work, makes it an invaluable resource for scholars and enthusiasts of medieval history and culture.
