EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving depicts a young woman of the 16th century, an era marked by the reign of the renowned King Francis I of France (1515-1547). The young woman's attire reflects the opulence and elegance of the time. She dons a chaperon headdress, which is shaped like a bonnet, adding a touch of sophistication to her appearance. The chaperon is adorned with intricate lace and pearls, symbolizing her high social standing. The young woman's dress is made of rich purple velvet, a luxurious fabric favoured by the nobility during this period. The wide sleeves of her gown are adorned with delicate lace, adding a feminine touch to her ensemble. A pearl belt cinches her waist, accentuating her slender figure. The young woman holds a peacock feather fan, a popular accessory among the French aristocracy. The fan not only served as a fashion statement but also provided relief from the heat and unwanted advances. The use of peacock feathers was a symbol of wealth and status, as the birds were considered a royal delicacy. This beautiful engraving is the work of Georges Jacques Gatine, after an illustration by Louis Marie Lante, as part of the Galerie Francaise de Femmes Celebres series, published in Paris in 1827. The intricate details and vibrant colours of the engraving transport us back in time, allowing us to appreciate the fashion and elegance of the 16th century.
