EDITORS COMMENTS
This 18th century image, titled "Princess Indianalla Toilette," depicts a young Indian princess in an intimate moment with a graceful gazelle. The princess, adorned in a sheer, intricately patterned dress and veil, reaches out to pluck branches for the gazelle, who gazes back at her with curious interest. The scene unfolds in a lush courtyard, filled with the sounds of music and the gentle trickle of fountains. The princess's personal attendants, dressed in elegant Indian garb, tend to her every need. A maid fans her with an ornate fan, while another applies henna designs to her hands. A hairdresser carefully arranges her long, flowing locks, and a musician strums a sitar nearby. In the background, a hookah pipe rests on a low table, suggesting the princess has recently enjoyed a relaxing moment of contemplation. This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving is a masterpiece from Giulio Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World," published in Florence in 1833. The work was created by the skilled hand of Corsi, and the detail and vibrancy of the colours bring the scene to life. The image offers a glimpse into the opulent world of Indian royalty during the 18th century, a time of rich cultural exchange and artistic innovation.
