EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases a French woman from the 17th century, as depicted in a painting by Abraham Bosse. The handcolored illustration is an intricate lithograph by E. Lechevallier-Chevignard, expertly lithographed by A. Didier, L. Flameng, and F. Laguillermie. The illustration is taken from Georges Duplessis's seminal work, "Costumes historiques des XVIe, XVIIe et XVIIIe siecles" (Historical costumes of the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries), published in Paris in 1867. The French woman in the painting is elegantly dressed in the fashion of the time, with a voluminous farthingale skirt, a bodice adorned with intricate lace and embroidery, and a high-collared ruff at her neck. Her hair is styled in elaborate curls, piled high on her head and held in place with a delicate ribbon. The woman's expression is serene and confident, reflecting the refined elegance and sophistication of the French aristocracy during the 17th century. The meticulous attention to detail in the handcolored illustration brings the painting to life, allowing us to fully appreciate the beauty and intricacy of the woman's costume and the artistic skill of Abraham Bosse. This image offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich history of French fashion and the opulence of the 17th century. The publication of "Costumes historiques des XVIe, XVIIe et XVIIIe siecles" marked a significant contribution to the study of historical costume and fashion, and this image remains an important document of the era's sartorial traditions. The collaborative efforts of Bosse, Lechevallier-Chevignard, Didier, Flameng, and Laguillermie have resulted in a stunning and enduring work of art and historical record.
