EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases a woman of the 1770s donning the popular Asiatic hairstyle, as depicted in the handcoloured lithograph "Coiffures de Style, la Parure Excentrique" by de Laubadere. The woman's hair is meticulously arranged over a large support pouf, creating an impressive height and volume. The pouf, or "pouf à l'Asiatique," is adorned with an array of decorative elements, including flowers, pearls, fabric, and feathers. The intricate design of the hairstyle reflects the opulence and elegance of the era of King Louis XVI. The woman's ringlets cascade down the sides of her face, framing it with soft curls. The delicate flowers and pearls intertwined in her hair add a touch of femininity and grace, while the fabric and feathers add texture and dimension. The use of exotic elements, such as the Asiatic hairstyle, was a popular trend during this time period, reflecting the influence of global trade and cultural exchange. The handcoloured lithograph by de Laubadere, published by Rouveyre in Paris in 1895, provides a fascinating glimpse into the fashionable world of the 1770s. The intricate details of the woman's hairstyle and the vibrant colours of the image make it a stunning work of art, transporting us back in time to an era of grandeur and refinement.
