| Title |
A Lady with Three Suitors |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
| Description |
This beautiful but mysterious drawing shows an encounter between elegantly dressed members of the noble class. The French inscription above suggests that the woman is addressing her suitors and makes it clear that they are concerned with the pursuit of love: He who will conquer my love / This [barrier] must overcome / Neither destroying it nor loosening it / Going neither below it nor above. The style of the clothing reflects French court fashions during the reign of Charles VIII (1483–98), and the subject relates to the tradition of late medieval collections of love riddles that involved verbal exchanges between courtly ladies and gentlemen. |
