EDITORS COMMENTS
In this handcoloured lithograph, a fashionable woman takes a leisurely pause in front of the Theatre des Varietes, located on Boulevard Montmartre in Paris during the Year VII of the French Revolution, around 1799. The theatre, which was built in 1807, is a popular destination for Parisians seeking entertainment and social interaction. The woman's elegant attire reflects the fashion trends of the Directory period, characterized by high-waisted robes, long-sleeved gloves, and intricate bonnets adorned with ribbons and bows. Her fichu, a triangular piece of fabric draped around her neck, adds a touch of sophistication to her ensemble. With a fan in hand, she appears poised and self-assured, as if ready to continue her promenade through the nearby Tuileries Gardens or Jardins des Tuileries. The Theatre des Varietes, with its ornate facade and grand entrance, serves as a striking backdrop to the woman's fashionable appearance. The lush greenery of the gardens and the vibrant colors of her attire contrast beautifully with the muted tones of the theatre's exterior. This exquisite image, created by R.V. after an illustration by Francois Courboin, is a testament to the enduring allure of Parisian fashion and culture during the late 18th century. Octave Uzanne's Fashion in Paris, published in 1898 by William Heinemann in London, features this plate as part of a larger collection documenting the evolving styles and aesthetics of French society during this period. The meticulously handcoloured lithograph offers a glimpse into the elegance and refinement of Parisian fashion during the Directory, a time of political and social transformation in French history.
