EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored print depicts a gentleman in his finest hunting attire, captured in an 18th century painting by the renowned French artist Carle Vanloo. The image, titled "Costumes historiques des XVIe, XVIIe et XVIIIe siecles" (Historical costumes of the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries), was published in Paris in 1867. The print was produced through the collaborative efforts of several skilled artisans, including E. Lechevallier-Chevignard, who handcolored the illustration, and the lithographers A. Didier, L. Flameng, and F. Laguillermie. The gentleman in the painting is dressed in the height of fashion for hunting excursions during the 18th century in France. His ensemble includes a red hunting jacket, adorned with gold buttons and intricate embroidery, a white shirt, a cravat, and a pair of breeches. He wears a brown waistcoat, a brown vest, and a brown hat with a feather adornment. The gentleman also carries a rifle and a hunting horn, signaling his readiness for the chase. The meticulous attention to detail in the painting and the handcolored print highlights the elegance and sophistication of the gentleman's attire, as well as the refined taste of the era. The print serves as a fascinating glimpse into the fashion and lifestyle of the French aristocracy during the 18th century, providing valuable insights into the history of clothing and hunting culture in France.
