EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 17th century engraving, titled "Femme de Qualité, en Habit d'Esté, Détoffe Siamoise" by Nicolas Arnoult, showcases the elegant attire of a high-class woman of the French court during the summer season. The intricately hand-colored print, part of the "Recueil des modes de la cour de France" collection, depicts the woman wearing a fashionable robe of Esté fabric, adorned with a Siamese design. The rich, vibrant colors of the textiles and the detailed textures of the cloth are beautifully rendered in the engraving, giving a glimpse into the opulence and sophistication of the French royalty. The woman is shown wearing a long-sleeved, high-necked gown, with a full, voluminous skirt and a narrow waist. The robe is adorned with intricate patterns and embellishments, reflecting the latest fashion trends of the time. The Siamese design, with its exotic, far-off allure, adds an air of mystery and intrigue to the image. The location of the print, Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), is a fitting testament to its historical significance and artistic merit. The print serves as an important reminder of the rich cultural heritage and the fashion sensibilities of the 17th century French court. The woman in the print, with her well-dressed, upper-class appearance, embodies the concept of "Femme de Qualité," or a woman of quality, who was expected to adhere to the latest fashion trends and maintain a certain level of social class and refinement. This stunning engraving is a testament to the enduring allure of fashion history and the role it plays in shaping our understanding of the past.
