EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th century etching, titled "Fashion Plate (A French Lady on Horseback), 1807," showcases the elegance and sophistication of the time. The image features a young, fashionable French woman dressed in the height of riding fashion, poised on a horse in a stunning side saddle. The horse, with its regal posture and elegant stride, complements the woman's attire, adding to the overall allure of the scene. The woman's riding habit is a testament to the intricacy and detail of fashion during this period. The dress is hand-tinted in rich, vibrant colors, with a blue bodice and a full, voluminous skirt. The contrasting white collar and cuffs add a touch of refinement to the ensemble. The hat, adorned with a large, feathered plume, completes the look. The etching itself is a masterful work of art, with intricate details and delicate lines that bring the scene to life. The woman's profile, with her confident expression and posture, exudes a sense of grace and poise. The background, with its rolling hills and lush greenery, adds to the idyllic setting. This etching, now housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), is a reminder of the rich fashion history of the 19th century. It offers a glimpse into the world of the past, where fashion was an expression of status, wealth, and culture. The image is a testament to the enduring appeal of fashion and the artistry of the past.
