This stunning handcoloured lithograph depicts a dress believed to have been worn during the reign of King Richard III of England, from 1483 to 1485. The dress is adorned with intricate blue and gold embroidery, featuring delicate floral and geometric patterns. The sleeves are puffed at the shoulders and white in color, adding a striking contrast to the rich hues of the dress. A jeweled necklace and belt further enhance the opulence of the garment, reflecting the wealth and power of the monarch during this period. The headdress, complete with an upright veil, adds a regal and elegant touch to the ensemble. This representation of the dress is based on various historical sources, including the illuminated Royal manuscript 16F2, Harleian manuscript 4425, the Roman de la Rose, and Strutts Habits.
