EDITORS COMMENTS
This early 17th century print depicts two Dutch townswomen, dressed in the traditional attire of the time, circa 1615. The women are shown engaging in a casual conversation, their expressions conveying a sense of warmth and camaraderie. The intricate details of their costumes provide a glimpse into the fashion and textile industry of the Dutch Republic during this period. The woman on the left wears a high-waisted, voluminous gown with a fitted bodice and a full, pleated skirt. Her collar is adorned with lace, and she wears a white apron over her gown. Her headdress consists of a simple cap, adorned with a ribbon and a small, delicate flower. The woman on the right wears a similar gown, but with a different pattern and color. Her bodice is decorated with intricate embroidery, and her skirt is gathered into a series of large, full pleats. Her headdress is more elaborate, featuring a tall, conical cap with a wide brim and a lace veil. Both women wear flat, laced shoes and carry small bags or baskets on their arms. The print provides a fascinating insight into the daily lives of Dutch townswomen during the early 17th century, a time of prosperity and cultural flourishing in the Dutch Republic. The attention to detail in the print, from the women's clothing to the background of the scene, makes it a valuable historical document and an aesthetic pleasure to behold.
