About the Item

Antique French Costume Print of Eleonore di Austria, Renaissance Fashion, 19th Century Description: This elegant antique French costume print, titled “Eleonore di Austria, 2ème femme de François I,” captures the rich Renaissance fashion of the 16th century. Published by Pauquet Frères in the 19th century and based on historical research by Gaignières, this hand-colored engraving forms part of the celebrated “Modes et Costumes Historiques” series, which documented the grandeur and opulence of European court dress. The image portrays Eleonore of Austria, the second wife of King Francis I of France, in a sumptuous gown of vibrant magenta and golden brocade. Her fur-trimmed cloak, intricate headpiece, and pearl necklace add to her regal air. She holds a small urn delicately, her serene expression and stately posture reflecting the poise and sophistication of Renaissance nobility. In the background, faint architectural details and soft foliage evoke the refined settings of 16th-century court life. Pauquet Frères’ artistry shines through in the fine line work and the vivid yet tasteful coloring that highlights the luxurious textures of Eleonore’s garments and the elegant drape of the fabrics. The historical accuracy and romantic aura of this piece make it not only a striking decorative element but also a valuable cultural document of French Renaissance fashion. Collectors of antique costume prints, enthusiasts of Renaissance history, and those with a passion for French art will find this print an exceptional addition to their collections. It can also bring a touch of historical elegance and refined artistry to any interior space. Condition report: This print is in good antique condition with some minor foxing and gentle age-related toning. The colors remain bright and the paper is stable without significant damage. Framing tips: Enhance the regal beauty of this piece with a classic wooden or gilded frame and a soft cream or ivory mat.
