EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving from 1797 showcases a woman in a madwoman-style bonnet with a huge fur muff. The French School of the 18th century masterfully captured her unique fashion choices during this era. The woman's ensemble is both striking and unconventional. She wears a casual blonde wig, which adds an air of playfulness to her appearance. Her madwoman-style bonnet, adorned with a pink kerchief, further accentuates her individuality and rebellious spirit. A pink shawl drapes elegantly over her shoulders, providing warmth and adding another layer of femininity to her outfit. A star-shaped pin adorns the ensemble, serving as an eye-catching accessory that complements the overall look. The artist pays careful attention to detail in this illustration from Pierre de la Mesangeres Journal des Modes et Dames. Each stroke of color brings life to the image, enhancing its beauty and charm. This print offers us a glimpse into the fashion trends prevalent during the Directoire period amidst the backdrop of the French Revolution. It reflects both royalist and republican influences while showcasing personal style choices like fichu rose sur le fond d'un bonnet à la folle. Overall, this enchanting artwork captures not only an exquisite moment in time but also serves as a testament to individual expression within historical contexts.
