EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving from 1798 showcases a fashionable woman in the picturesque Parc Monceau. The French School of the 18th century beautifully captures her elegant attire and stylish accessories. The woman exudes sophistication as she dons a capote hood with a stiff brim and soft crown, made of black crepe adorned with three braided ribbons. Her ensemble is further enhanced by a vibrant yellow Turkish doliman worn over a pristine white dress, creating an eye-catching contrast. As she strolls through Parc Monceau, this fashion-forward lady carries herself with grace while clutching both a delicate fan and kerchief. The scene transports us back to July 23rd, 1798, immersing us in the atmosphere of that era. Pierre de la Mesangeres' Journal des Modes et Dames features this exquisite illustration within its pages, showcasing the talents of Carle Vernet, Claude Louis Desrais, and Philibert Louis Debucourt. Their collaborative efforts bring life to this depiction of Directoire fashion during the tumultuous times of the French Revolution. This print serves as not only an artistic masterpiece but also as a historical artifact representing both royalist and republican influences prevalent during that period. Its inclusion in Fine Art Finder's collection allows us to appreciate the intricate details and craftsmanship captured by Pierre Charles Baquoy's illustration for years to come.
