EDITORS COMMENTS
In this exquisite handcolored engraving, a dandy of the era of Marie Antoinette is depicted in an elegant and extravagant outfit, complete with a lorgnette or pocket telescope. The dandy's attire is reminiscent of the opulent fashion of the time, with a black suit, breeches, and stockings adorned with a tricolor sash. He wears a striped waistcoat and a white shirt with a frilled fichu, adding to the intricate detail of his ensemble. The dandy's accessory of choice is a lorgnette, a fashionable aid for viewing distant objects or observing the finery of others at social gatherings. He holds a sprig of flowers in his left hand, adding a touch of natural beauty to his refined appearance. The woman in the background is dressed in the height of Marie Antoinette-inspired fashion, with a voluminous dress, a high-waisted petticoat, and a bonnet adorned with a ribbon and a plume. Her elegant attire is completed with a fichu, a long scarf worn around the neck, and a lacquer fan. This stunning handcolored engraving, titled "Costume de L'Epoque de Louis XVI," was created by Ap. Carrache after an illustration by Francois-Claudius Compte-Calix in Paris in 1869. The image captures the essence of the Marie Antoinette era, with its emphasis on elegance, extravagance, and beauty. The intricate detail and vibrant colors of the engraving transport us back in time, allowing us to appreciate the fashion and elegance of a bygone era.
