EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph, titled "Woman in a Drapery Bonnet, Bonnet a la Draperie, with Pearls" by de Laubadere, is an exquisite representation of fashionable attire during the era of King Louis XVI. The image showcases a woman adorned in the height of stylish hairstyles and eccentric finery, as depicted in Octave Uzanne's publication, "Coiffures de Style, la Parure Excentrique." The woman in the print wears a grand drapery bonnet, or "Bonnet a la Draperie," which was a popular choice for formal occasions during the late 18th century. The bonnet is adorned with two long strings of large pearls, cascading down the sides and accentuating the elegant curves of her neckline. The bonnet is further embellished with roses, adding a touch of natural beauty and femininity to the overall design. The intricate detailing of the woman's hairstyle is a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship of the time. Her hair is styled in elaborate curls, piled high atop her head and held in place by an array of pins and combs. The use of pearls and roses in both her hairstyle and bonnet is a reflection of the opulence and extravagance that characterized the fashion of the era. This print, published by Rouveyre in Paris in 1895, offers a glimpse into the world of Marie Antoinette and the French aristocracy, where fashion was a form of self-expression and a symbol of wealth and status. The use of handcolouring adds depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a stunning addition to any collection of historical fashion or art.
