EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Women's costume in the era of King Louis XV of France" takes us back to the elegant and refined fashion of the 18th century. Created by Alfred Grevin in 1850, this handcoloured print showcases a woman dressed in an exquisite ensemble that epitomizes the beauty and grace of the time. The lady depicted wears a stunning gown with a large hooped skirt, which was fashionable during King Louis XV's reign. She carries a delicate fan, symbolizing both elegance and coquetry. The artist skillfully captures every intricate detail of her attire, highlighting its opulence and sophistication. Set against a backdrop reminiscent of a French garden, this engraving transports us to an era known for its lavishness and grandeur. The woman's pose suggests she is engaged in conversation or perhaps exchanging pleasantries with someone off-camera—a subtle nod to social interactions during that period. With its meticulous craftsmanship and attention to historical accuracy, this print serves as both an artistic representation and historical documentation of 18th-century fashion. It invites viewers to appreciate the beauty ideals cherished by women at that time while offering glimpses into their world through clothing choices. Bridgeman Images' reproduction ensures that this remarkable piece continues to be admired for generations to come—an enduring testament to the allure and timeless appeal of French fashion from centuries past.
