EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite print depicts a noblewoman of the period of Charles VII, believed to be circa 1430. The woman is elegantly dressed in a low-cut gown, revealing a hint of her décolletage, and adorned with a wide collar that frames her face and neck. The gown, which is fitted at the waist and flares out at the hips, is a testament to the opulence and grandeur of the French court during this time. Charles VII, also known as Charles the Victorious, ruled France from 1422 to 1461. His reign marked the end of the Hundred Years' War and the beginning of the Renaissance in France. The fashion of the period was characterized by extravagant and luxurious clothing, reflecting the wealth and power of the nobility. The woman in the print wears her hair in elaborate braids and curls, which are held in place by intricately designed hairpins. Her jewelry, including a necklace and bracelets, add to the overall effect of her regal appearance. The rich fabrics of her gown, likely made of silk or velvet, are adorned with intricate embroidery and beading. The wide collar, a popular fashion trend during this period, not only served as a status symbol but also provided practical benefits. It protected the neck from the cold and drafts, as well as from the sun. The low-cut neckline, on the other hand, was a sign of sensuality and allure. This print offers a glimpse into the fashion and elegance of the French nobility during the reign of Charles VII. It is a reminder of the rich history and cultural traditions that have shaped the world we live in today.
