EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the essence of fashion and elegance in the early 17th century, as depicted in the oil painting of a young man from Lyon. Dressed in the height of style during the year 1626, the subject wears a lace ruff collar and cuffs that frame his face and neck, adding a touch of refinement to his appearance. The doublet he wears is a stunning example of the intricate decorative arts of the time, adorned with ribbons in pink, yellow, and green. This portrait is not an original work of art but rather a chromolithograph, a color print produced by the lithographic process. The illustration was created by Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck, a renowned German museum curator, archaeologist, art historian, illustrator, and etcher. Hefner-Alteneck meticulously researched and documented costumes, artworks, and appliances from the Middle Ages to the 17th century, and this portrait is a testament to his dedication and expertise. The chromolithograph was published by Heinrich Keller and lithographed by CB, and it is an essential resource for scholars and enthusiasts of historical fashion and art. The intricate details of the young man's attire, from the delicate lace ruff to the vibrant ribbons on his doublet, provide a glimpse into the opulence and sophistication of the past. This portrait is a beautiful reminder of the rich history of fashion and the enduring allure of the past.
