EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Plate 15: mid-bust of a young woman in profile wearing a hat topped with feathers" transports us back to the 16th century. Created by Italian artist Stefano della Bella around 1649, this etching showcases his exceptional talent for capturing intricate details and fashion trends of the time. In this portrait, we see a young woman elegantly positioned in profile. Her eyes gaze off into the distance while her delicate features are highlighted by the play of light and shadow. Adorning her head is an exquisite hat adorned with feathers, specifically ostrich plumes that add an air of sophistication and grandeur to her ensemble. The attention to detail is remarkable as every line etched on paper brings forth the texture of her clothing. The folds and creases reveal the luxurious fabric she wears, showcasing both style and status. This artwork not only serves as a visual representation but also provides insight into the fashion choices prevalent during that era. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this piece allows us to appreciate Stefano della Bella's mastery in capturing beauty through his artistry. It invites us to imagine ourselves stepping into history, experiencing life through the eyes of this young woman from centuries ago.
