EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored fashion plate illustration captures the timeless elegance and style of a Cauchoise woman from Yvetot in Normandy. With her tall Alsatian lace hat, bodice, shawl, and scarlet skirt, she exudes grace and sophistication.

This country servant woman embodies the simple yet refined lifestyle of her region.
