EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving captures the image of a servant woman from Coburg, Franconia, Germany, during the 19th century. The woman is depicted carrying a heavy bucket of water on her head, skillfully balanced with the aid of a cloth, while her hands are free to hold the handles of the bucket. Her traditional attire includes an embroidered cap adorned with intricate floral designs, a laced bodice that cinches her waist, a fichu draped around her neck, and full pleated petticoats that billow out from beneath her apron. The detail in the engraving is remarkable, with each stitch and fold of her clothing rendered with precision and care. The servant woman's expression is one of quiet determination, reflecting the hard work and dedication required of her role in the household. This image is a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the daily life and fashion of a servant woman in Coburg during the 19th century. The engraving is a beautiful example of the artistry of Georges Jacques Gatine, based on an original illustration by Louis Marie Lante from the publication 'Costumes of Various Countries' published in Paris in 1827.
