EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured lithograph captures the elegance and sophistication of fashion during the French Directory period, as depicted in the illustration by Francois-Claudius Compte-Calix from the publication "Les Modes Parisiennes sous le Directoire" in 1871. The woman in the image wears a chic hazelnut-coloured dress, accessorized with a fichu-chemise, a blue hat adorned with a white corsage and green trim, and long straw-coloured gloves. The dress features a pink apron and a lace capote, adding to its intricate and detailed design. The woman's hairstyle, with a pink cap and curls cascading down her back, completes the look. The use of pastel colours and delicate details in the lithograph by A. Paul Lacourriere perfectly captures the refined and elegant fashion sensibilities of the Napoleonic era. The Directory period, which followed the French Revolution, was marked by a return to more traditional and opulent fashion trends, as seen in this stunning illustration.
