EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured steel engraving captures the elegance and grace of Princess of Lamballe, Maria Luisa of Savoy, during the reign of Louis XVI in 1788. As lady in waiting to Marie Antoinette, she was a prominent figure at court and known for her beauty and charm.
Tragically, Princess of Lamballe became one of the first victims of the Reign of Terror during the French Revolution. Her untimely death marked a dark chapter in history, as she fell victim to political turmoil and violence.
The exquisite detail captured in this print by Hippolyte Pauquet brings to life the opulence and sophistication of 18th-century fashion. The intricate patterns and textures of her gown are meticulously depicted, showcasing the artistry and craftsmanship of the era.
Hippolyte and Polydor Pauquet were renowned for their work in publishing illustrated books on costume, birds, butterflies, anatomy, and natural history. This particular piece from their "Modes et Costumes Historique" series is a testament to their talent for capturing historical fashions with precision and flair.
Through this enchanting portrait, we are reminded not only of Princess Maria Luisa's tragic fate but also of her enduring legacy as a symbol of beauty and nobility amidst turbulent times.
