John Bell's Fashion Plate: A Parisian Promenade, 1821 (LACMA 2001.11.3) Step into the elegant world of 19th-century Parisian fashion with this stunning hand-coloured engraving by renowned British engraver John Bell. Entitled "Fashion Plate: Parisian Promenade," this image transports us back in time to an era of high class and refinement. The scene unfolds on a sunlit Parisian street, where a group of fashionable women, each dressed in the latest styles, take a leisurely promenade. The women's attire is a testament to the opulence and sophistication of the period. One woman wears a pink robe with a matching bonnet, while another dons a blue gown adorned with intricate white lace. A third woman, dressed in a rose-coloured gown, carries a parasol to shield herself from the sun. The textures and colours of the women's dresses are brought to life through the meticulous hand-colouring technique, adding depth and vibrancy to the otherwise monochrome engraving. The women's elegant postures and poised expressions exude confidence and grace, reflecting the social class and status they represent. This fashion plate, created by John Bell in 1821, is a valuable heritage art piece that offers a glimpse into the fashion trends and social norms of the time. The intricate line engraving and delicate hand-colouring techniques employed by Bell make this a truly unique and beautiful work of art, worthy of admiration and study by fashion historians, art enthusiasts, and anyone with an appreciation for the elegance and sophistication of the past.
