Title: "The Stature of a Milanese Noble: An Artistic Depiction from 'Costume du Moyen Âge'" Description: This finely detailed lithograph is part of the 1847 seminal work "Costume du Moyen Âge," which portrays a Milanese nobleman, attired in the fashion of the Middle Ages. The nobleman stands in a dignified pose, with a slight turn to the side that suggests movement or the commencement of an address. His garment is a robust, terracotta-hued robe, which falls in heavy folds to the ground, indicating the weight and quality of the fabric. The robe features elegant blue cuffs and a blue collar, which provide a contrast to the warm primary color and are adorned with diamond-shaped embellishments, implying a subtle yet unmistakable wealth. Atop his head sits a distinctive chapeau with a jaunty feather, adding a touch of personal flair to his ensemble. This hat, along with his full, neatly groomed beard, contributes to the air of wisdom and experience that the nobleman exudes. His expression is one of contemplation and sagacity, with eyes that appear to be observing or assessing the scene before him. As in other plates from the collection, the background is left intentionally plain, directing the viewer’s focus to the subject and his elaborate attire. This lithograph not only captures the fashion and dignity of a nobleman from Milan but also serves as a cultural and historical record, revealing the meticulous attention to detail in costume design and social hierarchy of the time. The lithograph serves as a visual study of the mores and attire of the period, crafted with reverence for the historical accuracy and an appreciation for the aesthetics of medieval clothing...
