EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcolored illustration depicts a gentleman from Spain during the 17th century, as rendered in a painting by the renowned Spanish artist, Bartolomé Esteban Murillo. The illustration is a lithographic reproduction, expertly executed by A. Didier, L. Flameng, and F. Laguillermie, based on the original painting. The image is taken from the seminal work "Costumes historiques des XVIe, XVIIe et XVIIIe siecles" (Historical costumes of the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries) by Georges Duplessis, published in Paris in 1867. The gentleman is dressed in the height of Spanish fashion from the period, with a voluminous, embroidered doublet, intricately patterned breeches, and a lace-trimmed ruff at his neck. His attire is completed with a wide-brimmed hat, a sash, and a decorative sword at his side. The meticulous attention to detail in the illustration, from the rich textures of the fabric to the delicate embellishments, offers a captivating glimpse into the opulence and elegance of Spanish fashion during the 17th century. This illustration is not only a beautiful work of art in its own right, but also an invaluable historical record of the fashion and culture of the time.
