"Andromache" is a costume design illustration from Volume I of "Research on the Costumes and Theatre of All Nations" ('Recherches sur les costumes et le théatre de toutes les nations'), a comprehensive work by French artist Philippe Chéry. The volume, which delves into the diverse theatrical costumes and traditions from various cultures and historical periods, features Chéry's detailed and vivid illustrations that capture the essence of each subject.

The illustration for "Andromache" represents the costume for the character of the same name, who is a prominent figure in Greek mythology and classical literature. Andromache is best known as the wife of the Trojan hero Hector and appears as a key character in Homer's "Iliad," as well as in plays by Euripides and other ancient playwrights. Chéry's depiction of Andromache's costume would have been informed by his research into ancient Greek attire, combined with the artistic and theatrical conventions of his own time.

Philippe Chéry (1759–1838) was a French artist and costume designer known for his dedication to the study of historical costumes and for his contributions to the visual aspects of theatre production in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. His work in "Research on the Costumes and Theatre of All Nations" is notable for its attempt to systematically categorize and illustrate the costumes of various cultures, which would have served as a valuable resource for artists, designers, and scholars interested in the historical accuracy of theatrical productions.

The costume design for Andromache would have included traditional elements of ancient Greek dress, such as the chiton and himation, while also potentially incorporating the artist's own interpretation and the stylistic influences of his era. Chéry's illustration not only reflects his artistic skill but also provides insight into the historical understanding and representation of ancient Greek costume in post-revolutionary France.

As a visual document, "Andromache" from Chéry's "Research on the Costumes and Theatre of All Nations" stands as a testament to the intersection of art, history, and theatre, showcasing the importance of costume design in the cultural and historical representation of iconic literary figures.
