EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving from 1789 showcases a stunning Ladies Grecian Style Evening Dress, capturing the essence of fashion in the late 18th century. The French School artist behind this masterpiece, possibly Horace Vernet, skillfully portrays the elegance and sophistication of the era. The evening dress featured in this print exudes timeless beauty and refinement. Its full-length silhouette gracefully drapes over the female figure, accentuating her curves with an air of gracefulness. The wrap-style design adds a touch of allure to this formal ensemble, making it perfect for any special occasion. The attention to detail is impeccable - every fold and pleat meticulously engraved to capture the texture and movement of the fabric. A delicate shawl completes the ensemble, adding an extra layer of sophistication. This fashion plate not only serves as a visual delight but also provides insight into historical trends and societal norms during that period. It reflects how women sought both comfort and style in their attire while adhering to fashionable standards. Now preserved in a private collection as part of The Stapleton Collection, this engraving continues to captivate viewers with its exquisite portrayal of early 19th-century fashion. As we gaze upon it today, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the glamour and opulence that defined that era's evening wear.
