Though more than five centuries old, the hairstyle pictured here shows a timeless elegance. From the side curls and the chignon, the woman could only have been attended by servants. The youthful red-head did not have to cover her hair nor detract from her overall beauty by wearing excessive jewelry. She is simple and elegant in her day-to-day costume. The wife or daughter of a well-to-do nobleman, the subject has chosen to sport a hairstyle that is representative of the times. Without photographs or magazines to demonstrate the styles, she would have encountered these through noblewomen who had attended the royal court. 15hqqy.
