Historical Women’s Fencing Illustration - Vintage Dueling Scene #1276935 (License: Personal Use)

The image depicts two women in early 20th-century fencing attire-high-waisted blouses, knee-length skirts or breeches, and striped stockings-engaged in a formal foil duel. One fencer executes a lunge while the other assumes a defensive parry stance, both wearing gloves and holding slender foils. The line art style suggests it originates from an instructional manual or period publication on women’s physical education.

This image is typically used in articles about the history of women in combat sports, vintage athletics, or gender roles in early modern physical culture; it serves users researching historical fencing, feminist sports history, or visual references for period costume design.
