EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored lithograph showcases a fashionable Parisian woman from the late 18th century, dressed in the height of Directory period style. The woman dons an elegant wig and a bonnet adorned with intricate ribbons, adding a touch of sophistication to her ensemble. Her long crimson coat, with its luxurious fabric and voluminous sleeves, is draped over a pair of white skirts, creating a striking contrast. The woman's hands are nestled in a huge fur muff, providing both warmth and a sense of opulence. The intricate details of her outfit, from the delicate lace trim on her bonnet to the intricate patterns on her coat, are beautifully rendered in the handcolored lithograph. This illustration, created by Francois-Claudius Compte-Calix in Paris in 1865, is a testament to the extravagant and ornate fashion trends of the Directory period (1795-1799) in France. The Parisiennes of the time embraced bold colors, luxurious fabrics, and intricate designs, as seen in this stunning depiction. The 18th century was a time of great change in French history, marked by the French Revolution and the rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. Despite the political turmoil, the Parisian fashion scene continued to thrive, with designers and illustrators like Compte-Calix capturing the essence of the era in their works. This image offers a glimpse into the world of Parisian fashion during the Directory period, a time of opulence, elegance, and innovation. It is a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of France and the enduring allure of its fashion history.
