EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored illustration, titled "Fashion of a Young Woman of Milan, 15th Century," is a captivating glimpse into the rich and intricate world of fashion during the Renaissance era. Drawn and lithographed by Paul Mercuri and accompanied by text from Camille Bonnard's Historical Costumes from the 12th to 15th Centuries, this image showcases the elegance and sophistication of Milanese fashion during this time. The young woman in the illustration is depicted in a thoughtful and introspective pose, engrossed in the pages of an open book. Her attire is a testament to the opulence and grandeur of the era. She wears a voluminous, ermine-trimmed cape, draped artfully over her shoulders, and a richly embroidered dress adorned with intricate floral motifs. A delicate belt cinches her waist, accentuating her slender figure. The young woman's headdress is a masterpiece in itself, featuring a tall, conical shape crowned with a delicate veil and adorned with pearls and precious stones. Her hair is styled in intricate braids, adorned with pearls and flowers. The background of the illustration is reminiscent of a fresco, adding to the authenticity and historical accuracy of the image. The attention to detail in this handcolored lithograph is truly remarkable, from the intricate embroidery on the dress to the delicate folds of the cape and the realistic rendering of the ermine fur. This illustration offers a fascinating insight into the fashion and style of the 15th century, and serves as a reminder of the rich artistic and cultural heritage of the Milanese Renaissance.
