Exquisite 1844 Lithograph of Traditional Georgian Woman in Full Attire

About the Item

The lithograph of the Georgian woman, titled "Georgienne," is a beautifully rendered depiction of traditional Georgian attire, illustrating not only the cultural fashion but also the detailed craftsmanship typical of the region. Here are some fascinating aspects of the print and its broader cultural context: 1. Traditional Georgian Dress: The woman is depicted wearing a traditional Georgian dress, which is both colorful and ornately decorated. Such dresses typically feature intricate embroidery and vibrant patterns, reflective of the rich textile traditions in Georgia. 2. Headpiece and Veil: The headpiece, adorned with an initial 'A', possibly a personal or family symbol, is characteristic of the regional headdresses worn by women in Georgia, which often signify marital status and regional identity. The veil adds an element of modesty and grace, common in many traditional Georgian women's outfits. 3. Jewelry and Accessories: The use of necklaces and other jewelry in the print highlights the importance of metalwork and jewelry in Georgian culture, often used to signify status and personal wealth. 4. Cultural Representation: Georgian traditional costumes are known for their diversity, influenced by the various historical periods under different empires. Each region in Georgia has its distinct style of dress, which tells a lot about the local customs and the historical influences that shaped them. 5. Artistic Technique: The print is a handcoloured lithograph, a popular method in the 19th century that allowed for detailed and vivid coloration in printed materials. This technique involves drawing onto a stone or metal plate with a greasy substance; the image is then inked and pressed onto paper, after which it is often colored by hand. This particular print not only serves as a visual delight but also as a cultural document, preserving the traditional attire and aesthetic sensibilities of Georgian women in the 19th century. It provides valuable insights into the historical and cultural identity of Georgia during this period.
