" An older dandy and young elegant were surprised in the park by a terrible storm. They fled, guarding their faces from the hail with an umbrella. The gentleman, very gallant (this is probably the beginning of the affair) has put his jacket over the shoulders of lady, who also has his hat on her head. He carries her wonderful conpote hat in his kerchief, and under his arm her little black dog in red collar with bells. What a fool! The white knight is soaked. He is freezing and grimaces horribly. And the lady, the ungrate, laughs with glee at the adventure! Illustration by Jean-Baptiste Isabey.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming and whimsical scene captured in a handcoloured engraving from 1817, we see a fashionable couple caught in the midst of a sudden downpour. The gallant Mr de Boissec is depicted giving his coat and top hat to his lady, while also carrying her hat in his kerchief and her little black dog under his arm. Despite being soaked to the bone, Mr de Boissec remains chivalrous as he shields his companion from the elements. The older dandy and young elegant pair are shown fleeing through the park with an umbrella, their faces guarded against the hail. The gentleman's act of kindness towards the lady hints at a budding romance between them, as she laughs gleefully at their misadventure. The intricate details of their attire - from the lady's conpote hat to her dog's red collar with bells - add a touch of elegance to this humorous moment. The artist Jean-Baptiste Isabey has masterfully captured both the drama and playfulness of this scene, making it a delightful snapshot of 19th-century fashion and etiquette. This print serves as a reminder that even amidst chaos and unpredictability, acts of kindness and gallantry can still shine through.
