EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored engraving, titled "Costume de l'Époque de Louis XVI," showcases the timeless elegance and extravagance of fashion during the era of Marie Antoinette. The central figure of the print is a woman dressed in a long white silk gown adorned with delicate blue ribbon frills, adding an air of refinement and grace to her attire. Her hair is styled in ringlets, adorned with green ribbons and roses, creating a natural and romantic contrast to the opulence of her dress. The woman holds a fan in one hand, a classic accessory used to keep cool in the hot French courts, while the other hand is delicately placed on her waist, accentuating the cinched waistline of her dress. The gown is further embellished with a fur-trimmed coat, adding a touch of luxury and warmth to the ensemble. The woman's outfit is completed with a fichu, a fashionable neck scarf, and a bonnet adorned with more ribbons and flowers. The intricate details of her dress, from the delicate frills to the intricate floral designs, are a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship of the time. This print, created by A. Lacourriere after an illustration by Francois-Claudius Compte-Calix, is a stunning representation of the fashion trends during the late 18th century in France. The era of Marie Antoinette was known for its elegance, extravagance, and beauty, and this print captures the essence of that time perfectly.
