EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored engraving, titled "Fille de Qualité en d'Eshabillée d'Hyver" (Quality Girl in Winter Furs), is a stunning representation of 17th-century French fashion as depicted in the "Recueil des modes de la cour de France" (Gallery of Modes at the French Court) by renowned artist Nicolas Arnoult. Dated 1685, this masterpiece captures the essence of affluence and elegance during the reign of King Louis XIV. The central figure in the image is a graceful woman, dressed in the height of winter fashion. She stands proudly, her hand raised in a gentle gesture, adorned in an elegant eshabillee (winter fur) dress. The rich, vibrant colors of the hand-coloured engraving bring the intricate details of the dress to life, from the delicate lace collars to the elaborate headdress adorned with feathers and pearls. The woman's head dress, or headdress, is a testament to the opulence of the era, with its elaborate design and the luxurious materials used. The fur-lined mantle, or eshabillee, draped around her shoulders adds an extra layer of warmth and sophistication. This engraving is a valuable piece of heritage art, showcasing the concept of fashion during the seventeenth century. It is a window into the world of the French court, where the wealthy and influential set the trends that would filter down to the masses. The intricate details and stunning colors make this a must-see piece for anyone interested in the history of fashion, art, or the French culture of the time. This engraving is currently housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), a renowned institution dedicated to collecting and preserving art and cultural heritage for future generations. The museum's extensive collection of European art, including works by Nicolas Arnoult, is a testament to its commitment to showcasing the rich history of art and culture.
