EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 18th century showcases the full dress of a lady of quality in Barbary in 1700. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring to life the elegance and opulence of this upper-class African woman's attire. Her ensemble is a testament to her social status, as she dons a luxurious gown adorned with rich fabrics and embellishments. The flowing robes cascade gracefully around her, exuding an air of regality and sophistication. Her headdress adds an element of grandeur, accentuating her noble lineage. The fashion choices depicted here reflect both cultural influences and European styles prevalent during that era. This print is part of "Recueil des Habillements de Differentes Nations" a renowned collection featuring illustrations by esteemed artists such as Holbein, Vandyke, Hollar, among others. As we gaze at this image today, we are transported back in time to witness the splendor and beauty that defined high society in Barbary during the 18th century. It serves as a reminder not only of the exquisite clothing worn by women like her but also highlights the complex class system that existed at that time. This remarkable piece captures not just fashion history but also offers us glimpses into societal norms and cultural diversity from centuries ago. A true treasure from Fine Art Finder's Bridgeman Images collection!
