EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored engraving on paper, titled "Recueil des modes de la cour de France, 'Argent de Mes Petits Oiseaux'" and created by Henri Bonnart around 1703-1704, offers a captivating glimpse into the fashionable world of the French court during the Baroque era. The image depicts a man, dressed in the latest trends, standing on a street corner in Paris. He wears an elegant coat adorned with intricate gold brocade and a matching hat, while a scarf draped around his neck adds a pop of color. The man is identified as a peddler or street vendor, carrying a basket filled with small birds on a pole. The title "Argent de Mes Petits Oiseaux," which translates to "Money from My Little Birds," suggests that the birds may have been a source of income for him. The inclusion of the man's occupation adds an intriguing layer of social commentary to the image, highlighting the contrast between the opulence of the courtly fashion and the more humble livelihood of a street seller. The meticulously detailed engraving showcases the intricate textures and patterns of the clothing, as well as the ornate hats and accessories that were popular during this time. The use of hand coloring adds depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a true masterpiece of 18th-century art and a valuable addition to any collection of historic fashion or art. This beautiful work of art is now housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, offering a glimpse into the rich heritage of French fashion and the Baroque era.
