The Common Man s Gesture: A Plebeian in Daily Life, 1847
Located in Langweer, NL
This original antique print for sale shows a figure labeled "Plebeien," which is French for "Plebeian," indicating that this individual is a commoner. The person is depicted in a long, bright yellow robe with a hood, which drapes in wide folds to the ground, a style that might have been worn for warmth or work by common people during certain periods in history. The individual is gesturing outward with his right hand, perhaps in conversation or pointing towards something of interest. The expression on his face appears engaged and animated. The simplicity of the robe, despite its vibrant color, suggests practical clothing rather than the more ornate attire of the upper classes. The color could signify a particular role within the community, a trade, or simply be a choice of personal attire. The title suggests the active role of the plebeian within the community and the everyday setting in which he belongs. 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...

Everyday Grace: A Common Woman of the Past, 1847
Located in Langweer, NL
The original antique print shows a seated figure labeled "Muger plebeia," which translates from Spanish to "Plebeian Woman" or "Common Woman." The woman is dressed in a simple yet elegant manner, indicative of the common people of the time. She is wearing a long dress in a pinkish hue with a red overdress or tunic, which drapes gracefully around her. On her head, she wears a blue hood that covers her hair, which was typical for women during various historical periods to denote modesty or as a fashion statement. Her seated position and the presence of the cane suggest rest or perhaps age. The simplicity of her clothing, without elaborate jewelry or adornments, signifies her status as part of the lower social class, although her clothing is neat and well-kept. 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.

Medieval Matrimony: A Union in the Gothic Halls, Hand-Colored in 1847
Located in Langweer, NL
This print from "Costume Di Moyen Age" (Costumes of the Middle Ages) published in Paris in 1847, depicts a scene from the medieval era. The image features a group of individuals in an indoor setting, likely a part of a noble class, given the richness of their attire and the elegant interior. A central figure in a blue cape with a red lining is in a dialogue or exchange with a person wearing a green and yellow patterned garment. They both are in the foreground and appear to be the primary subjects of this interaction. Behind them, there are other individuals who seem to be part of the scene, including a person in red robes who is possibly a clergyman, given the context and attire, which resembles ecclesiastical clothing. The background is adorned with Gothic architectural elements such as pointed arches and intricate detailing. Statues or figures are set within the architectural framework, suggesting a church or a similarly important building. The use of bright, primary colors is notable, and the attention to the detail in the clothing suggests a significant event, possibly a ceremony like a marriage, as indicated by the word "Casamiento" (meaning marriage in Spanish) at the bottom of the print. Overall, the print is rich in historical clothing...
