A Franciscan Nun

by Thomas Jefferys

This stunning late 18th-century engraving, engraved by Thomas Jefferys, depicts a Franciscan Nun in her typical outfit. This rare print is taken from the famous A Collection of the Dresses of Different Nations series and represents one of the most informative images of ecclesiastic costumes and religious traditions in the Age of Enlightenment.

This engraving shows the elegant simplicity of the garments worn by this order in great detail, emphasizing both their material and the way they are put on. Given the fact that this piece is an engraving by Thomas Jefferys, who was Geographer to His Majesty King George III, it has an impeccable design and accurate details.
