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 a courtesan, a young woman, and an old woman from Padua. On the left, the courtesan wears a robe with long, pointed sleeves, in a brocaded (?) fabric with floral pattern and with fur trimmings over a long-sleeved, full-skirted dress with train. Her hair is tied up with braids. She wears large pearl earrings and a pearl necklace. She holds a pair of gloves on her left hand and a handkerchief on her right hand.
On the center, the young woman wears a full dress with train and long puff sleeves of brocaded fabric with floral pattern. Her head is partially covered with a pleated veil, which hangs over her shoulders and behind her back. She wears pearl earrings and necklace with a ring pendant.
On the right, the old woman wears a full dress with a long, pleated veil that covers her head, shoulders, and back. She holds a rosary in her hands.
