Historique du Costume en France: Page

Paul Gavarni

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a black-and-white illustration of a man in 15th-century clothing. The man has long, wavy hair and wears a hat on top of his head. His outfit consists of a loose-fitting top with puffy sleeves and a V-neck, paired with short shorts featuring vertical stripes and a decorative trim along the hem. He also wears low-heeled shoes. The man holds a cane in his right hand, with his left arm relaxed by his side. He stands with his left leg slightly bent and his right leg straight. The illustration is framed by two thin rectangular borders, with text at the top reading "HISTOIRE DU COSTUME EN FRANCE." Below the illustration, within the inner border, is the text "(1400) PAGE." The background of the image appears to be aged paper with faint text, suggesting it may be a page from a book titled "Historique du Costume en France" by Paul Gavarni.
