About the Item

Costumed Courtly Ritual and Power – King and Angel in 15th-Century Splendor This vivid hand-colored engraving, published in 1845 as part of the celebrated series Costumes Historiques des XIIIe, XIVe et XVe Siècles, presents a richly detailed visual study of a regal courtly encounter from the early 15th century. The composition, numbered MCCC No. 95, features a crowned monarch seated in an ornate throne, holding a golden sceptre with fleur-de-lis finial, a classic symbol of French monarchy. Draped in a deep pink ceremonial robe adorned with gold embroidery and overlaid with a light blue cloak, the king is depicted as an emblem of power, ritual, and divine right. The opposing figure, kneeling in reverence, is a female angel dressed in a warm saffron-colored gown, her wings delicately rendered in tones of gold and brown. Her gesture of supplication and attentive posture suggests she brings divine message, counsel, or perhaps entreaty—adding a spiritual or allegorical layer to the scene. She presents the king with a red cap, perhaps as a symbolic offering of humility, obedience, or clerical authority. The visual dialogue between the two characters evokes themes of temporal and spiritual power, with the monarch poised in command yet engaged in the act of listening. The careful detail in both costumes and props—such as the throne’s carved base, ornamental red cushion, and the patterned rug beneath the king’s feet—reinforces the historical authenticity and artistic refinement of the print. The soft modeling of fabric folds and thoughtful use of color gradients highlight the hand-colorist’s skill, giving this image a luminous and almost theatrical presence. A print like this is not only of decorative interest but also a remarkable cultural document. It would appeal to collectors of medieval imagery, historical costume, or religious iconography, as well as to interior designers seeking an authoritative historical accent for a study, library, or office. Condition Very good overall. The image area is clean and the hand coloring remains bright and unfaded. Minor age-related foxing appears in the margin areas, with a few small spots on the background, but none affecting the central figures. Paper is stable and retains full plate marks. Framing Tips This single print works well alone or as part of a curated series. To emphasize its regal and historical character, consider a gold-leaf or antiqued wooden frame paired with a neutral off-white mat. A double mat with an inner red or ochre accent line can enhance the richness of the print’s palette. Leave at least 5 cm of matting around the trimmed image and maintain a visual white space border if placed among other prints from the same series. Ideal for elegant, classic, or thematic historical interiors.

Medieval Matrimony: A Union in the Gothic Halls, Hand-Colored in 1847

Located in Langweer, NL

This print from "Costume Di Moyen Age" (Costumes of the Middle Ages) published in Paris in 1847, depicts a scene from the medieval era. The image features a group of individuals in an indoor setting, likely a part of a noble class, given the richness of their attire and the elegant interior. A central figure in a blue cape with a red lining is in a dialogue or exchange with a person wearing a green and yellow patterned garment. They both are in the foreground and appear to be the primary subjects of this interaction. Behind them, there are other individuals who seem to be part of the scene, including a person in red robes who is possibly a clergyman, given the context and attire, which resembles ecclesiastical clothing. The background is adorned with Gothic architectural elements such as pointed arches and intricate detailing. Statues or figures are set within the architectural framework, suggesting a church or a similarly important building. The use of bright, primary colors is notable, and the attention to the detail in the clothing suggests a significant event, possibly a ceremony like a marriage, as indicated by the word "Casamiento" (meaning marriage in Spanish) at the bottom of the print. Overall, the print is rich in historical clothing...
