EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored engraving, created by Charles Paquien after an illustration by Francois-Claudius Compte-Calix, transports us back to the opulent and elegant era of Marie Antoinette. The woman in the print wears a stunning ensemble that embodies the fashionable trends of the late 18th century. She dons a scarlet velvet jacket, its rich hue contrasting beautifully with the full green silk skirt adorned with intricate floral-print edging. The jacket is further accentuated by a corsage and a delicate fichu, adding an air of refinement to the outfit. The woman's attire is completed with a green feathered bonnet, its extravagant plume cascading down her back. Her ringlets, styled in elegant curls, frame her face, which is adorned with a single flower in her hair and a fan in her hand. The overall effect is one of timeless elegance and beauty, a fitting representation of the fashionable mode of the French court during the reign of Louis XVI. This print, produced in Paris in 1869, offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the intricate details and extravagance of fashion during the Marie Antoinette era. The handcolored engraving process adds an additional layer of artistry to the print, making it a true treasure for anyone interested in fashion history or the art of the past.
