EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph, titled "Coiffures de Style, la Parure Excentrique" and created by de Laubadere in 1895, showcases an elegant woman adorned with a fashionable hairstyle of the era of King Louis XVI. The woman's hair is meticulously combed up and arranged in voluminous ringlets, each curl carefully defined and cascading down her shoulders. Atop her head, a tiny bonnet adds a playful and whimsical touch to her regal appearance. The intricacy and detail of the lithograph are evident in the woman's intricately styled hair, which was a popular trend during the late 18th century. The use of handcolouring adds depth and vibrancy to the image, bringing the woman's luxurious locks to life. The title of the lithograph, "la Parure Excentrique," suggests that this hairstyle was considered eccentric or extravagant for the time. However, the image exudes an air of sophistication and glamour, reflecting the opulence and grandeur of the French court during the reign of King Louis XVI. The influence of Marie Antoinette, the queen consort of Louis XVI, is evident in the woman's hairstyle and overall appearance. Marie Antoinette was known for her extravagant fashion choices and love of elaborate coiffures, which often featured towering headdresses and intricate curls. This lithograph is a fascinating glimpse into the world of 18th-century fashion and the intricate hairstyles that defined the era. With its intricate detail and vibrant colours, it is a beautiful and captivating work of art that continues to captivate and inspire.
