EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite print, titled "Kissing Hands," transports us back to the opulent and elegant world of the French court during the reign of King Louis XVI in 1777. The fashionably dressed gentleman, with his powdered wig and finely tailored coat, bows gracefully before an equally elegant lady. Her voluminous dress, adorned with intricate lace and ribbons, flows gracefully around her as she extends her hand towards him. The tender exchange of a kiss on the lady's hand was a common gesture of respect and admiration in the aristocratic society of the time. The etiquette of the Ancien Régime dictated that such displays of affection were permissible only between individuals of the same social standing. The kissing of hands was a custom that reinforced the strict hierarchy and social order of the time. The gentleman's gesture of respect and admiration towards the lady was a public affirmation of her status and beauty. This charming print offers a glimpse into the refined and formal world of the French court during the late 18th century. The intricate details of the clothing, the elegant postures, and the tender exchange of the kiss on the hand all serve to transport us back in time and provide a window into the customs and traditions of a bygone era. The print is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of France during the reign of King Louis XVI. It is a reminder of the elegance, grace, and refinement that characterized the French aristocracy of the time and continues to inspire and captivate us to this day.
