EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving showcases a woman elegantly dressed in the Empire style, a fashion trend that reigned supreme in France during the First Empire period from 1804 to 1820. The Empire style, which emerged under the rule of Napoleon Bonaparte, was characterized by grandeur, opulence, and a strong emphasis on ancient Roman themes. The woman in the image wears a voluminous, floor-length gown, adorned with intricate gold brocade and draped in rich, flowing fabric. The dress is cinched at the waist with a sash, highlighting the hourglass figure, a hallmark of the Empire style. Her high-waisted silhouette is further accentuated by the elaborate, tall hat, known as a "Trianon" or "Tiara," which sits atop her head, framing her face and adding an air of sophistication. The woman's accessories include a pair of long, white gloves, which were essential components of the Empire style, and a fan, which served both as a fashion statement and a practical tool for cooling oneself in the hot, stuffy rooms of the time. Her neckline is adorned with a choker, another popular feature of the Empire style, which adds a touch of elegance and refinement to her ensemble. The vibrant colors and intricate details of the engraving transport us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the opulent world of the French First Empire and the fashion trends that defined the era. This stunning image, with its rich history and timeless beauty, continues to captivate and inspire us today.
