EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored engraving, created by E. Bracquet after an illustration by Francois-Claudius Compte-Calix, transports us back to the opulent and elegant era of Marie Antoinette. The fashionable dandy in this image, dressed in the height of 18th century style, is an embodiment of the extravagance and beauty that defined this period. He wears a pink coat with green breeches, a bold color combination that was popular among the fashionable elite of the time. His attire is further accessorized with a bonnet adorned with a rosette, striped stockings, and a cane. The dandy's pouf hairstyle, complete with curls and ringlets, is held in place by a wide ribbon, adding to the overall grandeur of his appearance. The woman in the background, with her voluminous floral dress and pouf hairstyle, adds to the scene of elegance and refinement. She is engrossed in a book, suggesting a quiet moment of contemplation amidst the extravagance of the era. This beautiful handcolored engraving, produced in Paris in 1869, is a testament to the enduring allure of the Marie Antoinette era. Its intricate details and vibrant colors bring to life the fashion, elegance, and beauty of a bygone era. Whether used as a decorative piece or as a source of inspiration for historical costumes, this image is a must-have for any collection focused on the fashion and culture of the late 18th century.
