EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored illustration by E. Lechevallier-Chevignard, lithographed by A. Didier, L. Flameng, and F. Laguillermie, depicts a lady of honor at the court of King Francis I of France in the 16th century. The lady is dressed in a grey robe with voluminous sleeves, lined with luxurious fur, and a blue dress edged with delicate lace. The intricate design of the robe and the richness of the materials used reflect the opulence and grandeur of the French court during this period. Francis I (1494-1547) was known for his patronage of the arts and his extravagant lifestyle. His court was a center of culture and fashion, where the latest trends in clothing and accessories were adopted by the nobility. The fashionable attire of the time was characterized by rich fabrics, elaborate embroidery, and fur trimmings. The lady in the illustration wears her hair in a simple yet elegant style, with a veil covering her head and a pearl necklace adorning her neck. Her expression is serene and confident, reflecting the dignity and grace expected of a lady of honor at the royal court. This illustration is taken from Georges Duplessis' "Costumes historiques des XVIe, XVIIe et XVIIIe siecles" (Historical costumes of the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries), published in Paris in 1867. The detailed and accurate depiction of the clothing and accessories of the time makes this work an invaluable resource for historians, fashion designers, and anyone interested in the history of fashion and the French court during the Renaissance period.
