EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning engraving, titled "Homme de Qualité en Surtout" from Jean de Dieu's "Recueil des modes de la cour de France" (Collection of Modes at the French Court) dates back to 1684. The image showcases a well-dressed gentleman of the seventeenth century, standing proudly with a cane in hand and a hat adorned with a red feather under his arm. The intricately designed coat, with its rich colors and patterns, is a testament to the affluence and extravagance of the French court during this period. The gentleman's dress is hand-colored, adding depth and vibrancy to the engraving. The concept of "Homme de Qualité" translates to "Man of Quality," emphasizing the importance of fashion and appearance in the aristocracy of the time. This artwork, now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), is a valuable heritage piece that offers a glimpse into the opulence and grandeur of the French court during the seventeenth century. The intricate details of the clothing, the elegant posture of the figure, and the use of color all contribute to the timeless beauty and allure of this engraving.
