EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Peasant woman of Slovenia, 18th century" offers a glimpse into the traditional attire and culture of rural Slovenia during the 18th century. The print showcases a peasant woman from Upper Carniola, adorned in her summer dress with a peca headscarf, shift, bodice black petticoat, red shoes, and stockings. Her outfit reflects the customs and traditions of the region at that time. The hand-colored copperplate engraving was created by William Alexander after an illustration by Jean-Baptiste Eyries for his book "Austria: Costumes, Manners and Mores of the Austrians". Eyries was a French geographer, author, and translator who sought to document various aspects of Austrian society. The image transports us back in time to an era when agriculture played a vital role in Slovenian society. It serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that has shaped this region over centuries. The attention to detail in this artwork allows us to appreciate not only the intricate design of her costume but also provides insight into how women dressed during this period. This enchanting print is part of Bridgeman Images' collection from Fine Art Finder. It captures both the beauty and historical significance of traditional Slovenian attire while offering viewers an opportunity to explore different facets of European history through art.
