EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph, created by Elise von Hefner-Alteneck and lithographed by C. Regnier in 1889, showcases various French women's costumes of the 15th century. The image is rich in detail and offers a glimpse into the fashion, employment, and daily life of women during this era. In the foreground, we see Christine de Pizan, a renowned poetess, writing in her room. She is dressed in a voluminous gown, adorned with intricate embroidery and a hennin headdress, a tall, conical hat popular during this period. The headdresses of the women in the background also follow this style, adding a sense of uniformity and elegance to the scene. The woman on horseback, hawking, wears a tall headdress as well, demonstrating the practicality of these hats, which provided protection from the elements. The other women in the image are engaged in various activities, such as working in the fields, harvesting prunes, plowing, and even taking a bath. The background of the image is filled with the beauty of the natural world, with flowers, fruits, and a lake in the distance. The castle of Baron Joseph von Lassburg and Meersburg can be seen on the shores of Lake Constance. The women's costumes are made of wool and feature tapestry designs, showcasing the intricate craftsmanship of the time. This illustration offers a fascinating look into the lives of French women during the 15th century, highlighting their roles in various aspects of society and their connection to the natural world and the passing of the seasons. The image is a testament to the rich history of fashion and art from the Middle Ages to the 17th century.
