About the Item
Traditional Market Scene in 's Hertogenbosch (Bois-le-Duc), North Brabant, c.1890
This vivid and highly detailed costume plate depicts a group of market women from the North Brabant region, specifically 's Hertogenbosch (also known as Bois-le-Duc), in their distinctive late 19th-century traditional dress. Each figure is shown in a variation of the Brabant style, richly adorned with floral wreaths known as 'poffers', blue brocade streamers, and classic Roman Catholic symbols such as gold chains and crosses.
The standing women wear cotton bonnets with full cambric crowns and frilled muslin coifs, adorned with colorful muslin flowers, hearts, and foliage, symbolic of their rural roots. The seated flower seller dons a black printed bodice, red crocheted shawl, and a dark blue apron, completing the attire with a checked silk necktie — typical of semi-bourgeois styles of the time. The woman in the center wears a blue cotton summer dress with a white trefoil pattern and matching kerchief, while the figure on the right is clad in a darker, more traditional version with plaid shawl and black-printed bodice.
The background of classic Delft tile motifs, featuring windmills, enhances the local atmosphere and frames the trio with a strong sense of place and heritage. This plate captures not only the elaborate fashion of the period but also a disappearing way of life centered on vibrant outdoor markets and community rituals.
Condition:
The print is in excellent condition with strong colors, crisp impressions, and no visible foxing, creases, or tears. The paper is stable and retains its original margins.
Framing Tips:
To highlight the bold colors and intricate floral details, this plate would benefit from a double mat in off-white and muted gold. A medium oak or black frame can enhance its Dutch rural charm, especially when complemented with museum-grade glass to protect against light damage.
