EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts Maria Feodorovna, the widow of Tsar Paul I of Russia, in a striking devil costume from 1802-1805. The illustration is part of Iconographie Générale et Méthodique du Costume du IV au XIX siècle by Raphael Jacquemin and was engraved by Delatre. Maria Feodorovna, also known as Sophie Dorothea of Wurttemberg, was an empress and wife to the czar during the Russian Empire. The empire silhouette dress she wears showcases the fashion trends of the time with its empire waistline and elegant draping. This historical European costume reflects both social status and artistic expression. The intricate details captured in this drawing highlight the artistry and craftsmanship involved in creating such garments. Maria Feodorovna's choice to wear a devil costume adds an intriguing element to her portrayal. It symbolizes her boldness and perhaps hints at her strong personality within a male-dominated society. As a widow, she carries herself with grace while embracing fashionable attire that challenges societal norms. This artwork provides us with a glimpse into 19th-century Russian fashion history through illustrations like these created by Raphael Jacquemin. It serves as a testament to his talent as an illustrator capturing not only clothing but also cultural nuances within his works of art. Bridgeman Images' print allows us to appreciate this piece for its historical significance and artistic beauty without commercial use considerations.
