EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Gentleman in a long riding coat, dating back to 1798. The handcoloured copperplate engraving captures the essence of French fashion during the 18th century. The gentleman, known as an Incroyable, is depicted wearing a top hat with half-shaved hair, exuding an air of sophistication and style. The long-waisted coat featured in the image is adorned with octagonal buttons, adding a touch of elegance to his ensemble. Leather garters are attached to his low boots, showcasing attention to detail and practicality in his attire. His chapeau en bateau adds another layer of refinement to his overall look. The artist behind this exquisite illustration is Pierre de la Mesangeres, who contributed to the Journal des Modes et Dames in Paris during that time period. Collaborating with renowned artists Carle Vernet, Claude Louis Desrais, and Philibert Louis Debucourt for this volume's illustrations truly brought forth their artistic prowess. This piece not only reflects the fashion trends prevalent during the Directoire era but also offers insight into French society amidst political turmoil such as the French Revolution. Whether one identifies as royalist or republican, this gentleman's impeccable style transcends political affiliations. Brought to you by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection; this print serves as a reminder of timeless elegance and serves as an excellent addition for any art enthusiast or history lover's collection.
