EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph depicts a woman in an exquisite costume designed as the Oracle des Champs, or the Bulgarian Concubine, for a masquerade ball held in Paris during the 1880s. The elaborate attire features a richly decorated dress adorned with hearts, daisies, and flowers, evoking the essence of a Turkish harem or odalisque. The intricate detailing of the costume extends to the pants beneath, which are subtly peeking out from under the voluminous skirt. The woman's face is veiled, adding an air of mystery and intrigue to her identity. Her eyes, however, are revealed, captivatingly peering out from beneath the veil, as if to offer a glimpse into the future or reveal a hidden truth. The delicate seethrough veil further enhances the allure and seductiveness of the costume. The Oracle des Champs was a popular character in operas and theaters of the time, often portrayed as a mystical figure with the power to foretell the future. This lithograph, handcoloured in Paris, captures the essence of the character and the opulence of the masquerade ball. The intricate design and vibrant colors showcase the artistic craftsmanship of the time, making it a stunning addition to any collection of historical costumes or masquerade ball memorabilia.
