EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph from 1825 showcases a French dandy in informal costume during the Revolutionary era. The image depicts a man exuding elegance and style, donning a tricolor cockade bicorne atop his head, along with a wig that adds an air of sophistication. His vibrant red coat and waistcoat are complemented by buff breeches and striped hose, creating a striking ensemble that epitomizes the fashion trends of the late 18th century. The attention to detail is evident in this handcoloured lithograph by Lorenzo Bianchi and Domenico Cuciniello after Hippolyte Lecomte. It captures not only the clothing but also the accessories that complete this dandy's look - buckle shoes and a cane held effortlessly in one hand. This print is part of Lecomte's renowned work "Costumi civili e militari della monarchia francese dal 1200 al 1820" which explores civilian and military costumes throughout French history. The Italian edition published in Naples offers us insight into the sartorial choices made during different periods. With its rich historical context, this lithograph transports us back to an era marked by political upheaval while showcasing the artistry behind costume design. It serves as both an artistic representation of fashion trends at the time and as a glimpse into French culture during this transformative period. Bridgeman Images has preserved this exquisite piece, allowing us to appreciate not just its aesthetic beauty but also its significance within art history.
