EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored engraving on paper, titled "Recueil des modes de la cour de France, 'Marchand Foirin'" (Translation: "Collection of Modes at the French Court, 'Merchant of Poo'"), was created by the renowned French artist Henri Bonnart around 1703-1704. The image, which is part of a larger collection, showcases a well-dressed man, believed to represent a merchant, seated in a picturesque landscape. The man, dressed in the height of 18th-century fashion, dons an elegant red coat with gold buttons, a white shirt, and a cravat. His attire is accessorized with a hat adorned with a feather, a cane, and a pair of fashionable breeches. The intricate details of his clothing are beautifully rendered, with each fold and crease meticulously depicted. The title of the work, "Marchand Foirin," is intriguing, and its meaning is not entirely clear. Some art historians suggest that it may be a playful nickname for the merchant, while others believe it could be a reference to the man's profession or even a jest related to the nearby rural landscape. The engraving is a testament to the opulence and elegance of the Baroque era, showcasing not only the fashion of the time but also the artistic skill of Bonnart. This beautiful work of art is now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors with its intricate details and historical significance.
