Use of comely

Hi

Is the word comely used only with females?

She is a handsome, comely child.

How would you find this sentence as a native speaker?

He was a young, comely manager in that big company.

Thanks,

Tom

Comely is so seldom used today, I would describe it as archaic. I see it in literature written 100 or more years ago.
