EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Lady Taking Coffee" offers a fascinating glimpse into the fashion and lifestyle of the late 17th century. Created by renowned French artist Nicolas Bonnart around 1695, this print showcases an elegant lady indulging in her morning coffee ritual. The lady's attire is a true reflection of the opulence and grandeur associated with the reign of Louis XIV, also known as the Sun King. She wears a stunning bow-adorned gown, complete with a Fontanges headdress that was popular during this period. Her beauty spot adds an air of sophistication to her already exquisite appearance. As we admire this artwork, we are transported back in time to an era where coffeehouses were gathering places for intellectuals and socialites alike. The lady's poised demeanor suggests that she is partaking in not only a beverage but also engaging in stimulating conversations and exchanging ideas. Bonnart's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his engraving technique. From the delicate ribbons cascading down from her headdress to the intricate patterns on her dress, each element contributes to creating a sense of grace and refinement. This enchanting piece from The Stapleton Collection invites us to appreciate both its artistic merit and historical significance. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, people found solace and pleasure in simple pleasures like savoring their favorite cup of coffee amidst an atmosphere rich with culture and elegance.
