EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored engraving, titled "Femme de Qualité en Habit d'Hyver" (Woman of Quality in Winter Attire), is a stunning representation of 17th-century French fashion as depicted in the "Recueil des modes de la cour de France" (Compendium of the Modes of the French Court) by renowned artist Nicolas Arnoult. Created in the 1680s, this masterpiece showcases the elegance and sophistication of the French upper class during the reign of Louis XIV. The woman in the image is impeccably dressed for the wintry season, donning a voluminous, richly textured robe with a fur-lined cape. She accessorizes her outfit with a fashionable muff and hand warmer, both adorned with intricate designs, as well as a stylish headscarf. The vibrant colors and intricate details of her attire reflect the opulence and grandeur of the French court. The image serves as a testament to the importance of fashion as a marker of social class and status during this period. The woman's high-quality clothing and accessories signify her wealth and position in society. The intricate design and execution of the engraving itself also speak to the artistic and cultural heritage of the time. This work of art is now part of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's (LACMA) extensive collection, where it continues to inspire and enlighten visitors about the history and evolution of fashion and the art of the past.
