1501 Dressed Noble Woman Richly
EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 15th century print depicts a noblewoman of the French court during the reign of King Louis XII (1462-1515). The woman's opulent attire is a testament to the grandeur and wealth of the French aristocracy during this period. Her richly decorated gown, adorned with intricate gold and silver embroidery, is layered over a voluminous undergown and a linen shift. The sleeves of her gown are long and bell-shaped, and are secured at the shoulder with elaborate lace cuffs. A velvet mantle, draped over her shoulders and secured with a brooch, adds an extra layer of warmth and luxury. The noblewoman's headdress, known as a hennin, is a tall, conical hat that was popular among the French nobility during this time. It is adorned with pearls, jewels, and feathers, and is held in place with a jeweled headband. The woman's face is framed by a veil, which is held in place with a jeweled comb. Her hair is styled in tight curls, which are held in place with pearls and jewels. The noblewoman's jewelry is also a reflection of her wealth and status. She wears a pearl necklace, a pair of pearl earrings, and a large, ornate ring on each hand. Her fingers are also adorned with intricately designed gloves. The background of the print is simple, with a plain, dark fabric providing a contrast to the rich colors and textures of the noblewoman's attire. The print, which is believed to have been created around 1501, is a fascinating glimpse into the world of the French nobility during the late Middle Ages. It provides a window into the opulence and luxury that was enjoyed by the wealthy elite of the time, and serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of France during the Renaissance period.
