Title: "Dignified Poise of a Spanish Noblewoman: A Lithographic Study from 'Costume du Moyen Âge'" Description: This striking lithograph from the historic 1847 anthology "Costume du Moyen Âge" portrays a Spanish noblewoman in traditional attire, captured with an essence of nobility and refined grace. The noblewoman is depicted in a three-quarter stance, her gaze gently directed towards the viewer, which creates an intimate connection with the audience. Her dress is a harmony of practicality and elegance, characterized by a full-length, tan cloak that wraps around her figure, edged with a subtle blue stripe that adds a touch of color to the otherwise muted palette. The noblewoman's headdress, a distinctive feature of her ensemble, is a beautifully patterned headscarf, its intricate design suggesting a status of wealth and sophistication. The scarf is secured around her head and beneath her chin, framing her face and highlighting her serene and composed expression. Beneath the cloak, glimpses of a dark undergarment can be seen, suggesting layers that were typical of the era's fashion. Her right hand extends gracefully, perhaps in a gesture of communication or to display her ring, indicative of her marital status and her family's coat of arms. The lithograph demonstrates an exquisite attention to textile and pattern, which not only conveys the fashion of the period but also the cultural identity and social stature of the noblewoman. As with other pieces in the collection, the background is deliberately left blank, focusing all attention on the subject and her costume. This lithographic work serves as both an artistic and historical document, offering insight into the lifestyle and status of noblewomen in medieval...

Gorgeous 1975 serigraph after Jean Michel Folon's beautiful "l'arbre" or "forest". Produced in 1975 by Editions Marquet for Gallery Marquet in Paris, France. This print is in excellent condition, see pictures for details. It comes unframed. Jean-Michel Folon’s (Belgium 1934 - 2005) enigmatic landscapes and mysterious humanoid forms helped revolutionize conceptual approaches to illustration in the late 20th century. While Folon has worked across multiple disciplines—including painting, textile, sculpture, stained glass, and printmaking—he is perhaps best known for his drawings and watercolors depicting landscapes in the vein of Surrealist masters such as Salvador Dalí and René Magritte. These works depicted idyllic forests and prison-like skyscrapers populated by butterfly or bird/human hybrids he called “Everymen.” Folon’s drawings were published in such publications as Esquire, The New Yorker, and Time, among others, and he illustrated a number of well-known books. Folon widely exhibited during his lifetime, including at institutions such as Les Arts Décoratifs, the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London, and the Musée Picasso.
