EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning full-length portrait depicts a noblewoman from Mantua, Italy, as illustrated in Niclauss Kippell's Book of Italian Costumes, published around 1588. The exquisite detail of the woman's attire showcases the opulence and elegance of the Italian aristocracy during the Renaissance period. The noblewoman wears a richly colored dress adorned with intricate patterns, accessorized with a voluminous neck ruff and a handheld fan. Her headdress, featuring a tall, conical shape topped with a delicate net veil, completes the elaborate ensemble. The illustration is a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship of the time, created with tempera and ink on paper, bound between brown mosaic and red morocco covers. The artwork, now housed in the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore, Maryland, USA, offers a glimpse into the fashionable world of the Italian aristocracy during the sixteenth century. The vibrant colors and intricate details of the noblewoman's costume continue to captivate viewers, making this a cherished piece of heritage art.
