This series highlights the contrast between the clothing of Dutch noblewomen and that of women from the provinces. The regional clothing evolves slowly over time, while the fashionable attire of the elite is subject to foreign influences. For example, the woman in plate 1 wears a Spanish, conical farthingale beneath her skirt, while the woman in plate 2 wears the bellshaped version from France.
