EDITORS COMMENTS
Élisabeth, Countess Greffulhe (1860-1952) is depicted in this stunning photograph, wearing the iconic Lily Dress created by the renowned fashion house of Worth in 1896. The Countess, known for her elegance and sophistication, is captured in a portrait by the famous French photographer, Nadar (Gaspard-Félix Tournachon) (1820-1910). The Lily Dress, named for its intricate lily motifs, was a masterpiece of the Maison Worth and a symbol of the opulence and extravagance of the Belle Époque era. The dress, made of silk and adorned with lace and embroidery, was a true work of art, reflecting the high standards of French haute couture. The Countess's pose, with her hands delicately placed on the dress, accentuates its beauty and intricacy. This photograph, taken using silver gelatin photography, is a testament to the artistic collaboration between the Countess, Worth, and Nadar, and a reminder of the fashionable world of late 19th-century Paris. The image also holds a literary significance as it was immortalized in Marcel Proust's novel "In Search of Lost Time," where the Lily Dress is described in great detail, further cementing its place in fashion history.
