EDITORS COMMENTS
This image from the late 15th century, obtained from Mary Evans Prints Online, presents a unique and whimsical scene of a long-snouted sow engaging in an extraordinary display of sophistication and elegance. The sow, adorned in fashionable French attire, plays a harp with a graceful expression, showcasing her impressive musical skills. Her long, curved snout, a striking contrast to the intricately designed headdress she wears, adds an element of surprise and satire to the scene. The headdress, known as a Hennin, is a steeple-shaped headpiece that was popular in France during the late Middle Ages. This rare and elaborate style, with its tall, pointed tip and veil, was a symbol of high status and wealth. The sow's ability to wear such an extravagant headdress, while also playing the harp and walking on stilts, is a testament to the playful and imaginative nature of the art from this era. The sow's costume, complete with a fitted bodice, voluminous skirt, and ornate accessories, further emphasizes the absurdity and delight of the scene. Her intricately braided and adorned hair, crowned with the Hennin, completes the ensemble, making for a truly unforgettable and fantastical image. Despite the unlikely combination of elements in this print, the sow's poised posture and elegant demeanor convey a sense of refinement and grace, making for a captivating and intriguing work of art from the late 15th century.
