Antique Costume Print Lady of Paros Traditional Dress Jefferys 1749
This elegant engraving portrays a lady of Paros in traditional island dress. Published by Thomas Jefferys in London in 1749, the print forms part of a wider series documenting regional costumes.
The figure is depicted in layered garments with apron and veil, rendered in soft reds and neutrals. The delicate hand coloring and refined engraving create a balanced and graceful composition.
Such prints were widely collected for their ethnographic interest and remain timeless decorative works.
Condition: Good condition with age-related toning and light spotting. Minor edge wear and marginal losses. Plate mark visible.
Framing tips: A darker frame with a wide ivory mat enhances contrast and highlights the figure.
