Habit of a Lady of Padua

by Thomas Jefferys

The beautifully engraved copperplate print above illustrates the Habit of a Lady of Padua as seen in the influential A Collection of the Dresses of Different Nations, authored by Thomas Jefferys in the mid-18th century.

The image portrays the stylish attire of the noble lady in the form of a dress with an elaborate style featuring broad sleeves and a fine lace collar. The gown is typical of the luxurious costumes worn during the Renaissance period that was influenced by the Venetians in Northern Italy. The engraving presents details about the rich draperies and fabric textures that reflect the cultural background and status of the noble family of Padua.
