EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite costume of a noblewoman from 15th century Milan, Italy. Her attire reflects the opulence and fashion trends of the era, providing a glimpse into the sartorial choices of high society during that time. The noblewoman wears her hair elegantly styled in a bonnet or wig, adding to her regal appearance. She dons a white blouse that contrasts beautifully against her scarlet simar, which features slashed puff sleeves adorned with gold bows up to her elbows. The tight cuffs on her sleeves further emphasize the attention to detail and craftsmanship put into this ensemble. What makes this depiction particularly intriguing is the inclusion of earrings, an accessory not commonly seen during this period. This choice suggests that our noblewoman was ahead of her time when it came to fashion and personal style. The image originates from a portrait housed in Brera Gallery in Milan, lending historical authenticity to its representation. Handcoloured by Paul Mercuri and accompanied by text written by Camille Bonnard for "Historical Costumes from the 12th to 15th Centuries" published in Paris in 1861 by Levy Fils, this illustration provides both visual delight and valuable insight into fashion history. With its vibrant colors and meticulous detailing, this print serves as a testament to the artistic skill involved in recreating historical costumes while preserving their essence for generations to come.
