EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases a young woman from Ravenna, Italy, dressed in the elegant fashion of the 16th century. The painting, attributed to Magino de Gabrielle, has been beautifully handcolored and lithographed by E. Lechevallier-Chevignard, L. Flameng, F. Laguillermie, and published in Georges Duplessis' "Costumes historiques des XVIe, XVIIe et XVIIIe siecles" (Historical costumes of the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries) in Paris, 1867. The young woman is depicted wearing a stunning blue dress, which was a popular color for noblewomen during this period. Her white ruff, a high, starched collar, adds a touch of elegance and refinement to her attire. Her intricately styled hair is adorned with pearls, a symbol of wealth and status. The pearls are artfully arranged in a chignon at the back of her head, with loose curls framing her face. The attention to detail in this handcolored illustration is truly remarkable. The rich blues of the dress are brought to life, while the white ruff and pearls stand out in stark contrast. The intricate patterns on the woman's dress and the delicate folds of her skirt are expertly rendered, providing a glimpse into the opulence and grandeur of the 16th century. This image offers a fascinating glimpse into the fashion of the past, providing valuable insight into the styles and trends of the time. The Young Woman of Ravenna serves as a reminder of the beauty and elegance of historical fashion and the skill of the artists and craftsmen who brought these designs to life.
