Two Elegant French Gentlemen of the Late 17th Century: A Nobleman and an Officer (1690) This image, taken from the annals of French history, showcases two distinguished gentlemen of the late 17th century. The nobleman, resplendent in his ornate attire, dons a voluminous fur-trimmed jacket, adorned with intricate gold and silk trimming. His long, curly hair cascades down his shoulders, held in place by a fashionable ribbon. He completes his ensemble with a lace cuff and a large, decorative hat, its brim adorned with a plume. The officer, equally impressive, stands proudly next to the nobleman, his military uniform a testament to his dedication and discipline. His hat, a tall, cylindrical bicorne, is bedecked with ribbons and a plume, while his sword and cane are at the ready. The officer's jacket, though more subdued than the nobleman's, is still an impressive display of the opulence and grandeur of the time. The year is 1690, a time of great change and prosperity in France. The nobility and the military were the pillars of society, and their sartorial elegance was a reflection of their wealth and power. This evocative photograph, with its rich details and intricate costumes, offers a glimpse into the opulent world of the French aristocracy and military elite of the late 17th century.
