RH004 – 12th through 16th c Peasant Man

Beskrivning

Based on our research, peasants (that is, common farmers and shepherds) were wearing almost the same clothing from the 12th through 16th centuries. From manuscript illuminations, books of hours, and the sketchbooks of famous painters like Holbein and Dürer comes evidence that peasants wore the same style of functional, easy-wearing clothing for the better part of three centuries.
