EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a vibrant collection of 17th century costume styles from Europe, featuring an intriguing assortment of individuals from various social classes and nationalities. Beginning on the left, we find a Dutch couple dressed in the early 17th century. The man wears a high-waisted, voluminous doublet, while the woman dons a low-cut gown with a full skirt and lace collars. Their attire reflects the simple yet elegant fashion trends prevalent in the Netherlands during this period. Moving on, we encounter a French couple from around 1640. The man's outfit consists of a redingote, a long, loose coat with a standing collar, and breeches. The woman's gown boasts a fitted bodice and a full skirt adorned with intricate lace and embroidery. This opulent attire reflects the extravagance and sophistication of the French aristocracy. Next, we are transported to the royal court of King Louis XIV and his wife, Maria Theresa of Spain, around 1670. The king's grandiose attire includes a red velvet doublet, a lace jabot, and a three-cornered hat, while the queen's gown is a stunning display of silk, lace, and pearls. Their regal appearance embodies the power and grandeur of the French monarchy. As we progress to the right, we encounter an English dandy from around 1690. His outfit includes a tight-fitting waistcoat, breeches, and a tricorn hat. The elegant woman next to him wears a gown with a fitted bodice, a full skirt, and a lace cap. Their attire reflects the refined taste and fashion trends prevalent in England during this period. Lastly, we meet a German alderman from Nuremberg around 1700. His outfit consists of a long, flowing gown, a fur-trimmed cloak, and a tall hat. This traditional attire reflects the unique cultural influences and fashion trends of the German states during the late 17th century.
