EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print, titled 'A Bourgeois Parisienne just before the Revolution' (Mary Evans Code: 1012683), transports us back to the historic streets of Paris in the year 1787. The image captures the elegance and sophistication of a Parisian lady of the bourgeoisie class, a social stratum that flourished during the Ancien Régime. Dressed in the height of fashion, she dons an elegant robe à la française, a style that was popular among the French aristocracy and upper-middle class during the late 18th century. The voluminous skirt, adorned with intricate floral patterns, is supported by a pair of wide, padded hips, while the bodice is fitted and adorned with lace and ribbons. Her hair is styled in the latest trend, a high, pomaded chignon, held in place by a delicate ribbon. Her accessories are equally impressive, with a lace cap, a string of pearls, and a pair of elegant gloves completing her ensemble. She carries a fan, a must-have accessory for women of the time, to keep cool in the summer heat or to signal her interest in conversation. The print also offers a glimpse into the opulence of Parisian life during this period. The intricately patterned wallpaper, the ornate fireplace, and the luxurious fabrics all speak to the wealth and status of the Parisian bourgeoisie. However, this image also serves as a reminder of the tumultuous times that were just around the corner. The French Revolution, which began in 1789, would soon bring about the downfall of the Ancien Régime and drastically alter the social and political landscape of France. This Parisian lady, with her elegant attire and refined manners, represents a bygone era, a moment in history that would soon be forever changed.
