EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored engraving, titled "Femme de Qualité en Habit d'Este" from the "Recueil des modes de la cour de France" by Nicolas Arnoult, dates back to the 1680s. The image showcases a well-dressed woman of high class, adorned in the latest fashion trends of the French court during the seventeenth century. She wears a sumptuous robe of vibrant color, adorned with intricate textiles and a voluminous train, which was a symbol of wealth and status. Accompanying the woman is a page boy, dressed in the attire of the Este family, holding her train and wearing a mask, possibly to protect against the sun or the cold. The presence of a boy in the image is not uncommon in portraits of the time, as children were often used to represent the family's social standing and wealth. The image is a testament to the importance of fashion and social class during the French monarchy, with the latest trends and styles serving as a means of distinguishing the upper class from the rest of society. The intricate details of the clothing, the use of color, and the overall composition of the image make it a valuable addition to any collection of heritage art or fashion history. This rare and beautiful work of art, now held in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, offers a glimpse into the world of the French court during the seventeenth century, a time of opulence, elegance, and refinement.
