EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored illustration, drawn and lithographed by Paul Mercuri with text by Camille Bonnard, transports us back to the 15th century of Italy, showcasing the elegant attire of a noblewoman. The portrait captures the essence of Italian fashion during this period, with the noblewoman adorned in a richly textured and intricately designed ensemble. At the heart of her attire is a bonnet, which was a popular headpiece among the Italian nobility. The bonnet is adorned with delicate lace and a fur trim, adding an air of luxury and sophistication. The noblewoman's simar, a long, wide-sleeved outer robe, is lined with fur, providing both warmth and a regal touch. The dress beneath the simar is equally impressive, featuring a fitted bodice and a full, voluminous skirt. The dress is adorned with intricate patterns and embellishments, reflecting the wealth and status of the noblewoman. The lined sleeves, which are a common feature of Italian fashion during this time, add a practical yet stylish element to the ensemble. The illustration, taken from the book "Historical Costumes from the 12th to 15th Centuries" published by Levy Fils in Paris in 1860, provides a fascinating glimpse into the fashion of the past. The meticulous attention to detail and the use of vibrant colors bring the noblewoman to life, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and elegance of Italian fashion during the 15th century.
