EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph, created by R.V. after an illustration by Francois Courboin from Octave Uzanne's Fashion in Paris, published in 1898, transports us back to the fashionable and cultured society of the early 19th century. The image depicts a stylish couple, elegantly dressed for the occasion, as they wait for the coach to the Saint-Cloud estate at Place de la Concorde. The woman, with her deep straw bonnet adorned with feathers and a shawl draped around her shoulders, wears a high-waisted coat with intricate details. Her refined attire is a testament to the Empire and Napoléon era's fashion trends. In the background, the iconic Place de la Concorde sculpture, "Discobolus" by Myron, adds a classical touch to the scene. The man, wearing a hat, coat, breeches, and boots, completes the fashionable duo. The couple's attire, inspired by the artistic and aesthetic sensibilities of the time, reflects the influence of Greek and Roman art on French society. The Louvre Museum and its gallery of classical sculptures were popular destinations for the fashionable elite, inspiring the creation of such elegant and timeless ensembles. This image offers a glimpse into the fashionable world of the past, showcasing the elegance, sophistication, and artistic influences that defined the 19th century. The handcoloured lithograph, with its intricate details and vibrant colours, invites us to appreciate the beauty and richness of this bygone era.
