EDITORS COMMENTS
Marie, Countess of Bourbon, daughter of Guy of Hainaut, is depicted in this exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving. The image, taken from the "Galerie Francaise de Femmes Celebres" published in Paris in 1827, shows Marie wearing a regal attire befitting her status as the wife of Louis I, Duke of Bourbon. Her crown, adorned with ear pieces, sits majestically atop her head, symbolizing her noble rank. The rich armorial robe she wears is made of velvet, featuring an ermine bodice and sleeves. The coat of arms skirt displays the fleurs-de-lis blazon of her husband, Louis I, Duke of Bourbon, interwoven with the red lion of Holland and the black lion of Flanders, signifying the complex web of alliances and territories under their control. Beneath the robe, Marie wears a petticoat and either crakows or poulaines, fashionable footwear of the time. The intricate detailing and vibrant colors of the engraving highlight the opulence and grandeur of the medieval court.
