EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, created by Swedish artist Johan Abraham Aleander in the late 18th century, depicts a gentleman in the national costume of Gustaf III of Sweden, also known as the L'Habit de Cour or court dress. The intricately decorated attire, which was popular during the 1780s, includes a long, grey, double-breasted coat with lapels, a white shirt, and knee-length breeches. The costume is further adorned with a decorative waistcoat, a hat with a plume, and a sword at the side. The setting of the print is a grand castle, possibly Ekolsund Castle, with its impressive fortifications and towering walls in the background. The gentleman, with a serious expression, stands before the castle, exuding an air of chivalry and elegance. The black and white etching, titled "Gustaf III's national costume/Swedish costume, 1780s. L'Habit de Cour. Gentleman in court dress," offers a fascinating glimpse into the fashion and culture of the 18th century. Johan Abraham Aleander's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the numerous decorative elements of the costume, from the intricate patterns on the coat and waistcoat to the delicate folds of the fabric. The print, which is part of a larger collection of historical and decorative arts, is a valuable addition to any art centre or gallery, providing insight into the fashion and heritage of Sweden during the reign of Gustaf III.
