Histoire du Costume en France: Gens à la suite d'un seigneur

Paul Gavarni

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white illustration of a man in 15th-century clothing. The man faces away, showing a barefoot male figure wearing a hat with a feather tucked into it. He has on a loose-fitting tunic with puffy sleeves and a round neckline. The tunic is knee-length with two horizontal dark bands around the bottom. He also wears loose-fitting shorts that are gathered at the knee. The man holds a long stick or cane. The text at the top reads "HISTOIRE DU COSTUME EN FRANCE." and "GENS A LA SUITE D'UN SEIGNEUR" at the bottom. The image has a double-lined border. The background appears to be a page from a book.
