EDITORS COMMENTS
In this exquisite hand-colored lithograph from "Fashions and Customs of Marie Antoinette and her Times," published in Paris in 1885 by Comte de Reiset, we find a stunning depiction of a woman of the aristocracy, elegantly dressed in the latest fashion of 1787. The woman wears a sea-green redingote, an outer garment with long sleeves and a close-fitting bodice, featuring two collars for added elegance. The redingote is paired with a delicate gauze fichu, a triangular piece of fabric worn around the neck, and a felt hat in the fashionable color of canary yellow, adorned with ribbons. Her hair is styled in the popular "à la Cagliostro" fashion, with a hairpin securing it in place. The woman holds a long cane or badine, a fashionable accessory for women of the time, adding an air of sophistication and grace to her appearance. This image is taken from the journal of Madame Eloffe, a dressmaker and linen-merchant to the Queen and ladies of the court at Versailles. The meticulous attention to detail in the woman's attire reflects the high standards of fashion and style that were prevalent among the aristocracy during this period. The elegant and refined appearance of the woman in this image is a testament to the opulence and grandeur of the 18th century French court. The intricate design and vibrant colors of this lithograph make it a beautiful addition to any collection of historical fashion or art. It offers a glimpse into the world of the French aristocracy during the reign of Marie Antoinette, a time of extravagance, luxury, and elegance.
