Medieval Women’s Fashion: Hennin and Wimple Attire in 15th-Century Europe #1323243 (License: Personal Use)

This black-and-white woodcut depicts two aristocratic women from late medieval Europe, likely the 1400s. The figure on the left wears a conical hennin topped with a long trailing veil, paired with a fitted kirtle and overgown; the right figure kneels in a modest wimple and veil, her gown featuring wide sleeves and a high waistline typical of Burgundian influence. Fine cross-hatching emphasizes fabric folds and textile texture, capturing period accuracy in silhouette and drapery.
