EDITORS COMMENTS
by Rene Lelong: A Fashionable Pair's 18th Century Transformation In this exquisite print by Rene Lelong, titled "Preparing for the Ball," we are transported back in time to the opulent world of 18th century fashion. The scene captures the moment of preparation before attending a grand fancy dress ball. A fashionable pair, adorned in the latest trends, are seen getting ready, surrounded by the trappings of elegance and luxury. The woman, with her back turned to us, is engrossed in her reflection, meticulously applying powder to her face. Her elaborate periwig, adorned with intricate curls and patches, sits atop her head, while her maidservant, clad in a simple yet elegant gown, waits in close attendance. The maid holds her mistress's pink fur cape, patiently waiting for her to finish her preening and perfecting. The man, dressed in a fashionable suit, stands nearby, adjusting his cravat in the mirror. His powdered wig, with its tall, curled front, adds to his air of sophistication. The room is filled with the luxurious textures of velvet, silk, and fur, as well as the delicate scent of roses and lavender. The attention to detail in this print is remarkable, from the intricate designs on the woman's gown and the man's suit, to the ornate mirror and the elegant furnishings in the room. The use of light and shadow adds depth and dimension to the scene, making it a true masterpiece of 18th century fashion. This print, estimated to be from around 1647, is a testament to the extravagance and elegance of the time, and serves as a reminder of the lengths people went to in order to make a grand impression at the ball. With its timeless beauty and intricate details, "Preparing for the Ball" by Rene Lelong remains a captivating work of art that continues to inspire and delight.
