EDITORS COMMENTS
La Belle Paule, or Paula of Viguier, was a renowned beauty of Toulouse, France, during the 16th century. In this exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving by Georges Jacques Gatine, based on an illustration by Louis Marie Lante from the Galerie Francaise de Femmes Celebres, Paris, 1827, Paula is depicted in all her elegance and beauty. She wears her dark hair tied back under a velvet cap adorned with intricate feather detailing, adding a touch of sophistication to her appearance. Her surtout, or outer robe, is decorated with delicate pearls and a lace collar and sleeves, adding a sense of refinement and opulence. A belt cinches her waist, accentuating her slender figure, while a chain is draped around her neck. Paula's bodice, or inner robe, is also adorned with intricate lace detailing, adding an extra layer of texture and intrigue to her outfit. This stunning engraving captures the essence of Paula's beauty and the fashion trends of the time, making it a valuable addition to any collection of historical portraits or art.
