EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Gustaf III's national costume/Swedish costume, 1780s. L'Habit de Gala. Gentleman in a gala version of the court costume," is an exquisite work of art by Johan Abraham Aleander. Dating back to the 18th century, this aquatint etching offers a fascinating glimpse into the grandeur and elegance of Swedish court attire during the reign of King Gustaf III. The image depicts a gentleman dressed in the gala version of the Swedish national costume, which was popular during Gustaf III's time. The attire consists of a long, grey coat with gold decorations, a white shirt, and breeches held up by a sash. The gentleman wears a tall, ornate hat adorned with feathers and a gold band, adding to the formal and chivalric appearance of the ensemble. The setting of the print further enhances the grandeur of the scene, with the gentleman standing before a castle fortification, surrounded by the rolling hills and water of Ekolsund Castle. The black and white contrast of the etching creates a striking visual effect, highlighting the intricate details of the costume and the accessories. This print is not only a beautiful work of art but also an important historical document, providing valuable insight into the fashion and culture of the 18th century Swedish court. It is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of clothing, fashion, or the art of the 18th century. Whether displayed in an art gallery or art center, this print is sure to captivate and inspire all who view it.
