the-evil-clergyman:Illustration from Agneta and the Sea King by John Bauer (1910)Further info on the storyI’m trying to figure out where/when the clothing is from. It’s a Swedish folktale, first recorded in the 19th century, but that doesn’t look like 19th century Swedish clothing: what it looks like to me is Renaissance German clothing:(16th century. Note the gathered partlet under the low neckline, the underdress sleeves showing through the lacing at the elbows, and the long chain with large links. Here’s another one [figure on the right:])(This one has the sleeves that go down over the hands a bit, too. and here’s a somewhat similar head-covering:) -- source link
