EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving captures the essence of a French peasant from the 17th century. The print, created by an anonymous French School artist in the 19th century, showcases the intricate details of this historical figure's attire and style. Dressed in traditional working-class clothing, this man exudes a sense of authenticity and resilience. His coat, hat, and cloak are meticulously depicted with vibrant colors that bring life to his ensemble. The winter coat he wears hints at the harsh conditions these peasants endured during that era. The fashion choices showcased here reflect not only the individuality of this particular peasant but also provide insight into broader trends within French culture at the time. This engraving was originally featured as an illustration for "Costumes Civils et Militaires des Francais a Travers Les Siecles" by Roy in 1881. As we gaze upon this image today, it serves as a reminder of France's rich history and its diverse social classes. It transports us back to a time when clothing was not merely about fashion but also served as a reflection of one's occupation and status within society. Bridgeman Images has beautifully preserved this piece through their Fine Art Finder collection, allowing us to appreciate both the artistry behind it and gain deeper insights into our shared European heritage.
