Her expertise in fashion and textiles is evident in the intricately designed garment worn by the woman in the print. The journal, which documented the latest fashions and customs of the French court, was a must-have for those seeking to stay current with the latest trends and styles. The "Woman in Canary-Yellow Taffeta Hooded Cape" is a stunning representation of the opulence and elegance of the French court during the reign of Marie Antoinette.
