It belongs to his series of illustrations in which a full-figure person stands dressed according to the country and year in the title, with costume and headdress in clear lines. The background is sparse, so the figure becomes the focus.

Charles Grignion was English and active in the 18th century. He is known for sheets in which people from different countries and times are shown in their costumes.

On the wall, the poster suits a room where you want a calm backdrop of drawing and text. Choose 30×40 or 40×50 for a smaller wall, 50×70 if the motif is to take up space. A frame with black or dark wood lifts the lines, while white or oak gives a lighter framing.
