EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, dating from the mid-to-late 1770s, showcases a selection of elegant French costumes that were popular during this era. The fashionable women depicted in the image are adorned with high, elaborate hairstyles that were all the rage during this time. One woman wears an ornate polonaise gown, characterized by its long, full skirt and fitted bodice, which was a favorite among the French aristocracy. Another lady dons a pelerine, a fashionable cape that was worn over the shoulders and secured with a brooch or ribbon. The woman in the foreground adds an air of mystery as she wears a calash, a folding hood that could be raised to shield her face and identity. She carries a cane and a fan, accessories that were essential for any well-dressed woman of the time. The presence of a caleche, or a folding carriage, in the background further emphasizes the affluence and sophistication of the scene. The intricate details of the costumes, from the intricate embroidery to the voluminous skirts, are a testament to the extravagance and opulence of the French court during the late 1770s. This print offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of French fashion during this period and serves as a reminder of the elegance and refinement that defined the era.
