EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph depicts a French woman adorned in the elegant and opulent court costume of the Reign of King Charles X, in 1825. The woman, with a regal and composed expression, wears a voluminous gown of richly textured fabric, adorned with intricate gold embroidery and lace. The bodice is fitted and high-necked, with long, puffed sleeves that extend to the elbow, and a full, floor-length skirt that is gathered and draped over a wide, hoop skirt. The woman's hair is styled in an elaborate updo, with tendrils of curls framing her face and cascading down her back. She wears a matching shawl, draped over her shoulders, and carries a fan in one hand. The intricately detailed costume is a testament to the grandeur and sophistication of the French court during the reign of King Charles X. This image is taken from the renowned publication "Costumes Historiques de la France" by Paul Lacroix, published by the Administration Librairie in Paris in 1852. The meticulously handcoloured lithograph captures the essence of the era, providing a glimpse into the fashion and elegance of the French court during a time of great historical significance.
