Hermione, Costume for 'Andromaque', from 'Research on the Costumes and Theatre of All Nations' by Philippe Chery, is an illustration depicting the costume design for the character Hermione from the play 'Andromaque' by French playwright Jean Racine. Philippe Chery, a French artist and costume designer, conducted extensive research into the historical and cultural attire of various periods and regions, which he compiled into his work 'Research on the Costumes and Theatre of All Nations'. This publication aimed to provide a comprehensive visual reference for the theatrical costumes of different eras and civilizations.

Chery's illustration of Hermione's costume would have been informed by his study of the fashions and aesthetics of the period in which Racine's tragedy is set, as well as the conventions of 18th-century French theatre, when the play was most popular. 'Andromaque' itself is a classic of French literature, first performed in 1667, and is based on the story of Andromache, a character from Greek mythology who was the wife of Hector and later the concubine of Neoptolemus.

In the play, Hermione is a Greek princess betrothed to Pyrrhus, the son of Achilles, who is infatuated with Andromache. The costume designed by Chery for Hermione would reflect her status as a noblewoman in the classical world, potentially incorporating elements such as flowing drapery, rich fabrics, and classical motifs that were popular in interpretations of ancient Greek attire during the time of the play's popularity.

Chery's work is significant as it provides insight into the historical interpretation of costumes for the stage and the ways in which designers of the period sought to create visual authenticity and drama. His illustrations serve not only as artistic works but also as historical documents that capture the intersection of art, fashion, and theatre in the context of 18th-century European culture.
