Antique French Costume Print of a Servant in Medieval Dress, 19th Century
Description:
This engaging antique French costume print, titled “Servante, Règne de Henri III,” depicts a servant’s attire during the reign of Henri III in the late 16th century. Created by Pauquet Frères in the 19th century and based on Gaignières’ historical research, this hand-colored engraving is part of the celebrated “Modes et Costumes Historiques” series, known for its finely detailed and historically accurate illustrations of period dress.
The print features a servant woman standing confidently in a traditional ensemble typical of her status and duties. Her costume consists of a crisp white apron and a modest black gown with a red bodice that adds a bright pop of color to the otherwise sober outfit. A practical basket hangs from her arm, suggesting her role in domestic tasks. Her coifed hair is tucked neatly under a black hat, lending an air of simple elegance and functional beauty. In the background, delicate architectural sketches of half-timbered buildings evoke the medieval urban landscape she inhabits.
Pauquet Frères’ skilled hand-coloring and precise line work bring the textures and structures of the garments to life, capturing the understated dignity of a servant’s role in a noble household. The rich historical context and elegant presentation make this print highly appealing to collectors of antique art, students of social history, and decorators seeking to evoke the timeless atmosphere of the French Renaissance.
