EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 14th century, depicting a scene of a lady setting out for hawking. Originally an illustration from Livres du Roy Modus, this 19th-century version beautifully captures the essence of medieval life. The engraving showcases a female hunter mounted on her horse, ready to embark on her hunting expedition. The woman's elegant attire reflects the fashion of the time, with intricate details adorning her dress and headdress. Her steed stands tall and strong, emphasizing their partnership in this noble pursuit. Perched on her gloved hand is a magnificent bird of prey, symbolizing the art of falconry that was popular during this era. As we delve into history through this monochrome masterpiece, we are transported to an age where women actively participated in outdoor activities traditionally associated with men. This image serves as a testament to their strength and determination. Preserved by the Bibliotheque Nationale de France in Paris, this print offers us a glimpse into medieval society's fascination with hunting and its cultural significance during that period. It reminds us of our connection to our past while celebrating the achievements and contributions made by women throughout history. With every detail meticulously engraved onto paper by Paul Lacroix, Ferdinand Sere, and A Rivaud in 1849, this artwork continues to captivate viewers even centuries later.
