Burgundus, Nobilis Burgundus

Engraving, part of 'Habitus variarum orbis gentium' (Costumes of the various peoples of the world), representing the costumes of men and women from various parts of the world, engraved after designs by Boissard and published by Rutz in 1581.

This engraving represents two Burgundian men and a Burgundian nobleman. On the left, the first man wears a cape with abstract patterns on the border, paned trunkhose with a brocaded foliage pattern and codpiece, stockings and flat shoes with rounded toes. A ruff frames her face, which is partially covered by his curly beard. His hair is short and curly. He wears a short-brimmed hat with feathers and holds a long sword behind him.

On the center, the second Burgundian man wears a striped doublet with long puff sleeves trimmed with bows and ruffs at the wrists, a matching striped paned trunkhose with codpiece, stockings, and flat shoes with rounded toes. A striped band is placed diagonally across her chest. A ruff frames his bearded face, and a hat with ribbon band and a small rosette covers his head. He wears an open paneled cape and two strands of pearls around his neck. He holds a thin, long sword behind him.

On the right, the Burgundian nobleman wears a slashed brocaded jerkin over a doublet with long puff sleeves and a shirt with ruff, heavily padded trunkhose brocaded with a floral pattern, knee-socks with scalloping edges and ribbon bands with bows and tassels, and flat shoes. He wears an open long-sleeved jacket with pearl embellishments over his shoulders. A band made of three chains is across his chest. His hair is short and curly, as is his beard. He wears a short-brimmed hat with feathers and a jeweled band.
