EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph, titled "Man in Hazelnut Colour Coat," is an exquisite example of fashion during the French Directory period, circa 1871. The man, elegantly dressed, dons a hazelnut-coloured coat adorned with gold buttons and a monocle, adding an air of sophistication and mystery. He pairs his coat with green culottes, gloves, and black boots, completing his outfit with a tricolor cockade hat. The woman in the scene wears a stunning blue dress with a fichu and chemise, accessorized with a straw hat and blue gloves. The intricate details of their attire reflect the opulence and elegance of the Napoleonic era, a time of cultural and artistic flourishing in France. The illustration is based on a work by Francois-Claudius Compte-Calix, published in "Les Modes Parisiennes sous le Directoire" by Paul Lacourriere. This publication was a popular fashion plate, documenting the latest trends and styles during the French Revolution and the Directory period. The lithograph is a beautiful testament to the fashionable society of the time, showcasing the intricate details and vibrant colors that characterized the era. The handcolouring adds an extra layer of depth and richness to the image, making it a true treasure for historians, fashion enthusiasts, and art collectors alike.
