Arnoult Nicolas Chairman Combing Daughter Hand Coloured Engraving On Paper Merchant Nicolas Arnoult

EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite engraving, titled "Fille de Marchand, estant à Sa Toilette" (A Merchant's Daughter at Her Toilette), was created by the renowned French artist Nicolas Arnoult in 1687. The image is part of Arnoult's "Recueil des modes de la cour de France" (Collection of the Modes of the French Court), which documented the latest fashion trends among the French aristocracy. The engraving depicts a young woman, dressed in the latest fashion, seated before a large mirror at her toilette. She is in the process of having her hair combed and styled by an attendant, while she applies makeup and adjusts her elaborate headdress. The rich colors and intricate details of her clothing and accessories are beautifully rendered, with a deep red dress adorned with gold trim and a matching shawl, a lace collar, and a bejeweled fan. The woman's chair, with its ornate carvings and upholstery, adds to the opulence of the scene. The background shows a view of a country estate, with trees and a winding road leading to a distant village, suggesting the wealth and leisure of the subject. This hand-colored engraving on paper is a testament to the artistic and cultural heritage of 17th century France. The intricate details and lifelike portrayal of the subject and her surroundings make it a valuable addition to any collection of historical art or fashion. The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) is fortunate to have this rare and beautiful work in its permanent collection.
