EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph showcases a woman from the era of King Louis XVI, displaying an extravagant and elegant upcombed hairstyle known as "coiffure à la Quinot." The hairstyle features large curls at the nape of her neck, artfully arranged and held in place with a bonnet and a fichu, a decorative scarf that was fashionable during this period. The intricate coiffure was created by the renowned French hairdresser, Quinot, and was a symbol of high society and opulence. The meticulously detailed image, created by the skilled hand of de Laubadere, is part of the collection "Stylish Hairstyles or Eccentric Finery" published by Octave Uzanne in Paris in 1895. The lithograph offers a glimpse into the grandeur and refinement of the late 18th century, where such elaborate hairstyles were a mark of status and sophistication.
