EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of intimacy and luxury in the 18th century. The elegant lady, dressed in a stunning burgundy gown adorned with blue ribbons, sits comfortably as her maid attends to her feet. Engraved by Dupin and beautifully colored by Le Clerc, this plate from Galeries des Modes et Costumes Francais showcases the fashion and customs of the time. The lady's absent-minded expression suggests that she is momentarily distracted while her chambermaid diligently washes her feet in a basin filled with water. This scene portrays not only the act of personal grooming but also highlights the stark contrast between social classes during this era. The intricate details of their clothing and traditional costumes provide insight into the fashionable trends prevalent at that time. From the carefully tailored dress to delicate shoes, every element exudes elegance and sophistication. This engraving transports us back to an era where indulgence was paramount, even in mundane activities like foot washing. It serves as a reminder of how fashion played an integral role in defining societal norms and aspirations during the 18th century. Displayed within private collections today, this piece from Bridgeman Images continues to captivate viewers with its exquisite depiction of beauty, tradition, and class distinctions from centuries past.
