EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving from 1797 showcases a woman in a turban and crossed shawl, exuding elegance and sophistication. The French School of the 18th century beautifully captures the fashion trends of the time through this exquisite piece. The woman's turban features a flat crown adorned with pearls and feathers, adding an opulent touch to her ensemble. Her gathered dress and shawl are worn with ends crossed, creating a unique and stylish look. The attention to detail is remarkable, as every fold in the fabric is meticulously depicted. This artwork is part of Pierre de la Mesangeres Journal des Modes et Dames, which was published in Paris during 1797. Volume 1 of this journal featured illustrations by renowned artists Carle Vernet, Claude Louis Desrais, and Philibert Louis Debucourt. The print transports us back to the Directoire period amidst the backdrop of the French Revolution. It offers insight into both royalist and republican fashions that were prevalent during this tumultuous era. Bridgeman Images presents this stunning reproduction for art enthusiasts to appreciate its historical significance and artistic brilliance. It serves as a testament to the skillful craftsmanship of Pierre Charles Baquoy's illustration technique.
