EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored lithograph, titled "Woman in Pierrot, Pouf Bonnet, Apple Green Petticoat, with Jeannette Ribbons on her Shoes," is a captivating glimpse into the opulent and intricately detailed fashion of the 18th century, specifically during the reign of Marie Antoinette at the French court. The image, taken from "Fashions and Customs of Marie Antoinette and her Times," published in Paris in 1885 by Le Comte de Reiset, showcases a woman elegantly dressed in an English-style outfit. The woman's ensemble includes a pierrot, or long-sleeved, high-necked blouse, worn over a pouf bonnet, a large, voluminous hat adorned with ribbons and flowers. The petticoat beneath is an eye-catching apple green color, adding a pop of vibrant hue to the otherwise muted tones of the image. The Jeannette ribbons, a popular fashion accessory of the time, are delicately tied around her ankles, peeking out from beneath her full, layered petticoat. Her shoes, also adorned with the same ribbons, complete the look. This image is a testament to the extravagance and elegance of the French court during the late 1700s. The meticulous attention to detail, from the intricate patterns on the woman's dress to the delicate ribbons on her shoes, is a reflection of the high standards of fashion and design during this period. The lithograph, published by Madame Eloffe, dressmaker and linen-merchant to the Queen and ladies of the court, offers a glimpse into the world of Marie Antoinette and her court, a world of luxury, opulence, and refinement. The image is a valuable historical document, providing insight into the fashion trends and customs of the time, and serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural significance of the 18th century. This handcolored lithograph is a must-have for anyone with an interest in fashion history, Marie Antoinette, or the French court during the late 1700s.
