EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 17th-century print captures the elegant and refined beauty of a Frenchwoman from the court of King Louis XIII. Dressed in the height of fashion from the early 1620s, she gracefully holds a rigid fan made of ostrich plumes. The fan, an essential accessory for women of the nobility during this period, is adorned with intricately woven gold and silver threads, adding an air of luxury and sophistication. The woman's costume is a stunning example of the opulence and grandeur of the French court. Her gown is made of rich, velvet fabric, adorned with intricate lace and embroidery, and features a low-cut neckline and full, voluminous sleeves. Her hair is styled in elaborate curls, held in place by a diamond and pearl headpiece, and she wears a delicate lace veil. The background of the print is a decorative fire screen, which adds to the overall sense of opulence and grandeur. The fan, with its long, rigid handle, is held in a pose that suggests both elegance and control. The ostrich plumes, with their dark, glossy sheen, contrast beautifully with the gold and silver threads and the rich velvet of the woman's gown. This print offers a glimpse into the world of the French court during the reign of Louis XIII, a time of great artistic and cultural flourishing. The woman's poised and confident demeanor, combined with the intricate details of her costume and accessories, make this a truly captivating and beautiful work of art.
