EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored engraving, titled "Costume de l'Époque de Louis XVI," showcases the epitome of 18th-century French elegance and extravagance as embodied by the legendary Marie Antoinette. The woman in the image wears a tall, flower-trimmed bonnet, or bicorn, adorned with intricate floral motifs that mirror the lush gardens of Versailles. Her pale green, flower-trimmed dress is a testament to the opulence of the era, featuring a fitted bodice and full, voluminous skirt. The woman also dons a fichu, a fashionable neck scarf, and a corsage, a decorative arrangement of flowers worn close to the chest. In her hand, she holds a delicate fan, a necessary accessory for the aristocracy to keep cool during the hot summer months. Her outfit is completed with a brown coat, breeches, and hose, all adorned with intricate buckles and decorative elements. The woman wears a cravat, a fashionable neckcloth, and brown shoes with elegant buckles. A cane, a symbol of refinement and elegance, completes her ensemble. This stunning image, created by the talented hand of Ch. Paquien after an illustration by Francois-Claudius Compte-Calix, offers a glimpse into the world of Marie Antoinette and the fashionable mode of the era. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the engraving transport us back in time, allowing us to experience the elegance, extravagance, and beauty of the French court during the reign of Louis XVI.
