About the Item
Bavarian Woman Print Passau Germany 1853 by Compte-Calix – Hand-Colored Lithograph
This refined antique print depicts a woman from Passau in Bavaria, Germany (Femme de Passau). Created by François Claudius Compte-Calix, it was published in Paris in 1853 by Chez Aubert et C-ie as part of the prestigious Le Keepsake de Costumes series, which presented traditional costumes from Europe and beyond in elegant artistic detail.
François Claudius Compte-Calix (1813-1880) was a respected French painter and lithographer known for his romantic and historical subjects, as well as his detailed costume studies that combine ethnographic authenticity with artistic grace.
This hand-colored lithograph, from the Musée Cosmopolite collection, shows the Bavarian woman kneeling in prayer, hands clasped on a wooden prayer stand. She is dressed in a long dark gown with detailed pleats and folds, a delicate white lace collar, and an elaborate traditional headpiece adorned with gold embroidery and black lace. Her serene profile, fine features, and prayerful pose capture both the piety and dignity of Bavarian women of the mid-19th century. Lithographic lines create depth and texture, while careful hand coloring enhances the golden tones of the headpiece and the subtle shading of her gown.
Lithography, the technique used here, involved drawing onto limestone plates before inking and pressing onto paper to produce fine, crisp lines and tonal variation. Each print was then hand-colored using water-based pigments, adding depth, vibrancy, and lifelike presence.
Condition summary: good condition overall, with light age toning typical of mid-19th century prints.
Framing tips: this print will be beautifully presented in a dark wood, walnut, or black frame to complement the dark tones of the dress, or a gold frame to echo the ornate headpiece. A cream or warm beige mat will enhance the delicate hand coloring and provide subtle contrast with the aged paper. Museum-quality UV-protective glass is recommended to preserve colors and protect against further toning.
This lithograph is ideal for collectors of German regional costumes, Bavarian cultural heritage, and 19th-century lithography, as well as interior decorators seeking classical European elegance. It makes a distinguished decorative accent for libraries, studies, or traditional interiors, bringing timeless dignity, devotion, and cultural history into any refined setting.
