EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Frankish woman from the time of the Carolingians, specifically between 890 and 900. The Carolingian dynasty was established by Charles Martel in the late 8th century, with Pepin the Short overthrowing the last Merovingian king to become ruler of the Franks in 751. However, it was Emperor Charlemagne who truly exemplified their greatness during his reign from 742 to 814. The woman depicted in this print is dressed in traditional Frankish attire, adorned with a vibrant cape and cloak that exude elegance and sophistication. Her colorful robe reflects her status and adds a touch of grace to her overall appearance. She stands confidently, holding a staff as if symbolizing her authority or perhaps representing her role within society. Her headdress is intricately designed, showcasing both style and cultural significance. It serves as an emblem of her heritage while framing her face beautifully. This portrait engraving offers us a glimpse into the fashion trends and customs prevalent among women during this period. Preserved through time, this image allows us to appreciate not only the beauty but also gain insights into the rich history of France and its people. It reminds us of an era when powerful rulers shaped nations and individuals proudly embraced their cultural identities through clothing choices like those worn by this remarkable Frankish lady.
