EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a moment of elegance and leisure in 18th-century France. Titled "Monument Costume La Rencontre au Bois de Boulogne" it depicts Cephise, a lady of high status, and her marquise girlfriend taking a horseback ride through the scenic Bois de Boulogne. Cephine is seated in an amazon position, dressed in an exquisite amazon costume. Her long hair cascades down under her feathered hat in a graceful braid. The marquise stands beside the horse, holding a whip in her right hand. The image portrays their encounter as lovers meeting amidst the beauty of nature. The scene showcases not only their fashionable attire but also the intricate details of women's clothing during that era. This particular print is part of the Seconde suite d'estampes series, which chronicles the life of Cephise and highlights French fashion trends at that time. It offers glimpses into various aspects such as riding costumes, ensembles for different occasions, headgear for both men and women, along with depictions of woodlands and parks as recreational spaces. Created by Heinrich Guttenberg between 1776-1777 using paper and etching techniques, this artwork measures approximately 408 mm in height and 320 mm in width. It provides us with a window into history while showcasing the timeless allure of fashion from centuries past.
