EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored illustration, titled 'Young Woman of Venice, 16th Century,' is a stunning example of the elegant and intricate fashion of the Renaissance period. The young woman, dressed in a richly hued blue gown, embodies the opulence and sophistication of Venetian society during this time. Her dress features puffed shoulders, a fitted bodice, and tight sleeves adorned with lace, reflecting the intricate textile techniques and attention to detail that were hallmarks of the era. The young woman holds a fan in her left hand, a fashionable accessory used to keep cool in the warm Italian climate. Her lace collar, which frames her delicate neck and shoulders, adds an air of refinement and elegance to her ensemble. The illustration, created by E. Lechevallier-Chevignard and lithographed by A. Didier, L. Flameng, and F. Laguillermie, 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. This illustration offers a glimpse into the rich and complex world of fashion history, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and intricacy of clothing from centuries past.
