About the Item

The image depicts a group of men labeled "Juges Diseurs," which translates to "Judges Speakers" or "Speaking Judges." This term could refer to officials who were responsible for proclaiming verdicts or public announcements. The men are dressed in colorful attire typical of the late Middle Ages or Renaissance period. The one on the right is handing over what appears to be a document or a letter to one of the men on the left. The colorful garments and prominent hats signify that these individuals are of a certain status, likely officials or messengers who serve a judicial or governmental role. The man receiving the document wears a hat with a feather, often a sign of status or profession. The others are attentively observing the exchange, which suggests the importance of the document being handed over. The title of this listing reflects their potential role in the judicial process and the formality of their attire. More about the vivid colors of this original hand-colored antique print: Egg whites can be applied as a varnish over pigments to enhance their brightness and to protect the colors. This application could make the colors appear more vivid and also add a slight glossy sheen to the surface of the image. Egg yolk, on the other hand, was commonly used as a binding agent in paint. It forms the basis of tempera paint, a medium that was widely used before the advent of oil painting. Egg yolk helps to create a durable and long-lasting color that adheres well to various surfaces. In the context of the print from 1847, it's less likely that egg whites or yolks were used directly on the print, as by that time, commercial printing processes would have been more advanced and less reliant on such manual methods. However, if this print is a representation of an earlier style or is meant to mimic the appearance of hand-painted manuscripts, the original artists might have employed techniques or materials that gave a similar effect to those achieved with egg-based binders and varnishes.
