Dated circa 1760, this image showcases the opulence and sophistication of the French capital during this period. The Parisienne, dressed in the height of 18th-century fashion, dons an intricately designed robe à la Française. This style, popular during the mid-18th century, features a wide, voluminous skirt, a narrow bodice, and a low-cut neckline. The woman's hair is styled in the latest coiffure, with a high, pomaded topknot and elaborate curls framing her face. The richness of her attire is further accentuated by the luxurious fabrics and accessories. Her robe is made of silk, adorned with delicate floral patterns and intricate embroidery. A matching shawl is draped over her shoulders, and she wears a pair of elegant shoes with red heels and delicate buckles. The Parisienne's expression is one of refined elegance and self-assurance, reflecting the confidence and sophistication of the Parisian women of this era. The print's background, with its intricate gold border and delicate floral motifs, adds to the overall sense of opulence and luxury. This image provides a fascinating window into the world of 18th-century Paris, offering a glimpse into the fashion, culture, and lifestyle of the women who lived there during the reign of King Louis XV. It is a testament to the enduring allure of this period in French history and the continued fascination with the elegance and sophistication of Parisian women.
