EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print depicts the livery of a page in the French Empire during the early 19th century, around 1800. The page wears an elaborate and sophisticated costume, reflecting the grandeur and opulence of the French court during this period. The base of his outfit consists of a red breech and waistcoat, both adorned with intricate gold braid. The waistcoat features a V-neckline and a frilled edge, adding an elegant touch to the ensemble. Over the red undergarments, the page wears a green coat with a stand collar and even more gold braid, which emphasizes the military influence of the French Empire. The tricorn hat, a classic headpiece of the time, sits atop the page's head. The hat is adorned with a white plume, symbolizing the rank and status of the page, and a tricolore rosette, representing the French national colors. The rosette is attached to the hatband, adding a patriotic touch to the costume. The page's shirt is not visible in the print, but it is likely to have been a simple white linen shirt, worn as an undergarment. The overall effect of this costume is one of grandeur, elegance, and military precision, perfectly encapsulating the spirit of the French Empire during the early 1800s.
