EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph depicts a woman elegantly dressed in the national costume of a Vlachs peasant, also known as a Paysanne Valaque, for a spring masquerade ball. The Vlachs, also referred to as Morlons, are an ethnic group originating from the Carpathian Mountains, primarily residing in Romania and neighboring countries. The woman's costume is adorned with intricate details, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of the Vlachs people. She wears a long, embroidered skirt, a blouse with elaborate floral patterns, and a colorful apron. Her head is adorned with a traditional headdress, featuring a red ribbon and a pair of robin feathers. The overall design exudes an air of grace and authenticity, making it an ideal choice for a fancy dress ball or a theatrical production. The illustration, published by Martinet in Paris during the 1880s, captures the essence of a bygone era. The woman's poised posture, combined with the vibrant colors and intricate details, evoke a sense of romance and nostalgia. This print could serve as inspiration for a cosplay design, an opera or theatre production, or even a singer or dancer's stage costume. With its timeless beauty and authenticity, this handcoloured lithograph is a true work of art that transports us to a world of elegance and tradition.
