EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored print depicts a lady from the 16th century in Florence, Italy, dressed in a beautiful gathered gown inspired by a fresco by Andrea del Sarto. The lady's underdress is a rich shade of blue, and the outer gown is gathered at the waist and falls in soft folds to the floor. She wears a matching blue veil draped over her head and shoulders, adding an air of mystery and elegance. A delicate necklace adorns her neck, completing the look. The print is a handcolored illustration by E. Lechevallier-Chevignard, lithographed by A. Didier, L. Flameng, and F. Laguillermie. It was published as part of "Costumes historiques des XVIe, XVIIe et XVIIIe siecles" (Historical costumes of the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries) by Georges Duplessis in Paris in 1867. The publication was a groundbreaking work in the study of historical costumes, and this print is a testament to the meticulous research and attention to detail that went into it. The lady's attire is reminiscent of the sumptuous fashions of the Florentine Renaissance, a time of great artistic and cultural flourishing in Italy. The intricate details of her gown and veil, as well as the subtle shading and textures in the handcoloring, bring the image to life and transport us back to a bygone era. The print is a precious document of fashion history and a reminder of the beauty and elegance of the past.
