This stunning hand-colored copperplate engraving captures the essence of a Woman of Alsace from the 15th century, as depicted in Robert von Spalart's "Historical Picture of the Costumes of the Principal People of Antiquity and of the Middle Ages." The woman is elegantly dressed in traditional Alsatian attire, with her purse hanging from her belt as a practical yet stylish accessory.
Her outfit, based on Cesare Vecellio's Habiti Antichi e moderni from Venice in 1590, showcases intricate details such as her hat, coin purse, boots, and necklace. The engraving beautifully illustrates the fashion sense of women during this period in history.
The image transports us back in time to a bygone era when clothing was not just functional but also a form of self-expression. The attention to detail in this artwork is truly remarkable, capturing every fold and texture of the fabric with precision.
As we admire this historical depiction, we are reminded of how fashion has evolved over centuries while still retaining elements that resonate with contemporary styles. This Woman of Alsace serves as a timeless muse for those who appreciate both art and history intertwined in one captivating print.
