Francoise Robertet, Dame de Rostaing, Wife of Tristan de Rostaing, Baron de Brou: A Glimpse into 18th Century French Fashion and Elegance This exquisite handcoloured lithograph depicts Francoise Robertet, the elegant wife of Tristan de Rostaing, Baron de Brou. The portrait, taken from Roger de Gaignières gallery portfolio X 11, is a captivating example of historical costumes from the French 18th century, as documented in Paul Lacroix's "Costumes Historiques de la France." Francoise's graceful appearance is accentuated by her voluminous, powdered wig, which cascades down her shoulders in soft, curling waves. Her delicate features are framed by a lace cap, adorned with intricate floral motifs. Her dress, a testament to the opulence of the period, is made of rich, velvet fabric, draped elegantly over her figure. The bodice, cinched at the waist, is adorned with intricate gold embroidery, while the skirt flows gracefully to the floor, revealing the fashionable pannier understructure that was popular during this era. The exquisite detailing on Francoise's dress continues with the delicate lace cuffs and collar, as well as the intricate floral patterns that adorn the hem of her skirt. Her shoes, with their high heels and delicate buckles, are a testament to the fashionable footwear of the time. This stunning portrait offers a glimpse into the opulent world of 18th century French fashion and elegance, providing a window into a bygone era and the refined taste of its inhabitants.
