EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1850 depicts a woman adorned in elaborate costumes made of animal skins, heads, and feathers. The theatrical or fancy-dress attire harkens back to ancient times when people would cover themselves with the hides of beasts. Handcolored by Gilloy after an illustration by Alfred Grevin, this image is part of Les Filles d'Eve, an album showcasing various historical disguises. The woman's ensemble exudes coquetry and titillation while embodying the beauty ideal of the era. Her elegant leather garments and feathered plumage showcase her feminine allure. This fashion trend reflects the imagination and inspiration prevalent during this period. The French influence is evident in both the style and cultural context depicted in this artwork. France's rich history and artistic heritage are reflected through its costume design and fashion trends. This engraving offers a glimpse into the clothing styles of the late nineteenth century, capturing both elegance and creativity. The woman portrayed here embodies beauty ideals that were highly sought after during that time. Bridgeman Images' print allows us to appreciate this exquisite piece of artistry from the 19th century, providing insight into historical fashion trends while celebrating female beauty throughout different eras.
