About the Item

Ecclesiastical Figure in Ceremonial Robes, circa 1400 This elegant hand-colored engraving, plate number 83 from the renowned 1845 publication Costumes Historiques des XIIIe, XIVe et XVe Siècles, presents a striking figure of ecclesiastical authority clad in richly layered ceremonial garments. As with other plates in the series, this image draws from historical paintings and sculptures to provide an accurate depiction of late medieval clerical dress, likely representing a bishop or abbot of high rank. The figure wears a long, vertically pleated robe in pale blue, topped by a vivid rose-colored chasuble edged in gold and lined with white. Over this is draped a richly embroidered stole, adorned with black crosses and golden tassels at either end, symbols associated with spiritual authority and clerical hierarchy. The heavily ornamented breastpiece and hem further emphasize this figure’s elevated religious role. A black mantle or hood covers the head and shoulders, lending a somber, dignified contrast to the otherwise luminous attire. In his hands, the figure cradles a book—likely a missal or prayer book—indicating his liturgical role. His gaze is lowered in a contemplative expression, suggesting solemnity and spiritual dedication. The use of color is particularly striking here: the balance of warm pinks and gold against the cool blue robe and black hood adds depth and vibrancy to the composition, without overwhelming its sacred tone. This print is a valuable piece for collectors of ecclesiastical art, costume historians, or those with an interest in the rituals and symbolism of medieval religious life. Its authenticity, grace, and fine color application make it suitable for decorative use in libraries, studies, or institutional spaces with historical or religious themes. Condition The print is in very good condition. The image area is clean and bright, with only some minor age spotting. Colors remain strong with gold highlighted, and no fading. The paper is stable with no folds or tears. Framing tips To frame this ecclesiastical plate to best advantage, consider using a deep cream or soft parchment-toned mat to echo the aged paper. A gold frame with subtle religious detailing or a dark wooden frame will enhance the liturgical theme and emphasize the richness of the garments. Suitable as a standalone piece or as part of a series of related prints.
