국립 로맨티시즘 박물관 (마드리드, 스페인)

마드리드 국립 로맨티시즘 박물관: 스페인 낭만주의를 발견하세요! 19세기의 예술, 역사 및 분위기. 고야와 소로야의 걸작들을 만나보실 수 있습니다.

The nobility and bourgeoisie of the 19th century periodically organised various kinds of social events that allowed them to open the doors of their mansions. Among the accessories that a lady had to carry in her bag or hanging on a chain were dance cards and card cases whose variety of materials and decorative motifs determined their owner’s marital status. While mother of pearl was used by single women, ivory was used by married women and jet by widows. / In this card case, both the material of the card case and its decoration shows that its bearer was a single woman, as it is made of mother of pearl and decorated with a bucolic scene in which a couple takes a dove out of a cage, symbolising the virginity that is lost with marriage.
