EDITORS COMMENTS
In this handcoloured engraving from Pierre de la Mesnage's Le Bon Genre, published in Paris in 1817, a Parisian woman undergoes an extraordinary transformation as she gets dressed in the Chinese style. Surrounded by three grotesque porcelain figures, or magots, the woman is being assisted by her quirky and playful helpers. One magot delicately combs her hair, another helps her slip into a pair of ornate slippers adorned with bells, and the third presents her with a tunic and a mirror, showcasing the intricate design of the Chinese tunic. The woman's reflection in the mirror reveals her new Chinese appearance, complete with a moustache and a bold, colorful outfit. This satirical and entertaining image showcases the fascination with Chinese culture that was prevalent in Europe during the early 19th century. The use of magots as makeup artists adds a whimsical touch to the scene, highlighting the exotic and playful nature of the transformation. The intricate details of the woman's Chinese attire, the bells on her slippers, and the ornate mirror all contribute to the overall allure and charm of this engraving. Le Bon Genre was a popular French publication known for its satirical and entertaining content, and this image is a prime example of the publication's unique blend of fashion, lifestyle, and entertainment. The image invites us to imagine the world of the Parisian elite, where Chinese-inspired fashion was a popular trend and where the ordinary act of getting dressed could be transformed into an extraordinary event.
