EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Fine Art Storehouse takes us back to the elegant fashion of the late 18th century. The image showcases a stunning French walking costume circa 1780, designed with meticulous attention to detail. The focal point is undoubtedly the vibrant redingote, skillfully tailored with a bustle that accentuates the wearer's silhouette. Its clever design allows for greater freedom in movement, as seen by the slightly shorter underskirt that gracefully hovers above floor length. The ensemble is completed by a large fichu draped around the neck and an exquisite bonnet hat perched atop her head. This fashionable combination adds an air of sophistication and refinement to her overall appearance. Notably, her hairstyle deviates from the powdered wigs that were once en vogue, embracing a looser and more natural look. In this enchanting scene captured by Hulton Archive/Getty Images, we are transported into an era where elegance reigned supreme. Every element of this portrait exudes timeless charm and speaks volumes about European fashion during this period. As we admire this remarkable piece of artistry, it becomes evident why it has stood the test of time. It serves as a testament to both the creativity and craftsmanship involved in creating such intricate garments. Whether displayed in your home or office space, this print will surely captivate all who lay eyes upon it – offering glimpses into history while celebrating beauty through fashion.
