EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored etching, titled "French Woman Wearing the Fashion of February 1793," showcases the elegant and intricate fashion of the French Revolution era. The subject of the print is a French woman, dressed in the height of fashion from this pivotal period in history. She dons a high-waisted redingote, a long coat with a tight bodice and full skirts, adorned with delicate stripes. The bodice is accentuated by a fitted waist and a low neckline, revealing a fichu or neckerchief, worn around her neck and draped over her chest. The woman's ensemble is completed with a bonnet adorned with a cockade and feathers, a symbol of the revolutionary spirit. Her hair is styled in an elaborate wig, with curls cascading down her back. A shawl is draped over her shoulders, adding an air of sophistication and warmth to her attire. This stunning print is an exquisite example of the fashion of the French Revolution, as depicted in Auguste Etienne Guillaumot Jr.'s "Costumes of the French Revolution, 1790-1793." The meticulous attention to detail in the etching, from the intricate patterns on the woman's dress to the delicate folds of her shawl, transports us back in time to this fascinating era in history. The print is a testament to the enduring allure of fashion and the power of art to capture and preserve the essence of a moment in time.
