EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving from 1798 showcases a woman dressed in a victim-style criss-cross ribbon dress. The French School of the 18th century beautifully captures her elegance and grace as she holds a fan and a letter, exuding an air of mystery. Her casual hairstyle is tied in a kerchief, adding to her allure. The open-pointed back of the dress reveals the intricate crossed ribbons that are characteristic of the victim style. With its short sleeves and coiffure negligee en fichu, this ensemble epitomizes fashion during the Directoire period amidst the backdrop of the French Revolution. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this illustration, from the delicate handcolouring to capturing each fold and drape of fabric with precision. This print is part of Pierre de la Mesangeres Journal des Modes et Dames, which featured illustrations by renowned artists Carle Vernet, Claude Louis Desrais, and Philibert Louis Debucourt. As we gaze upon this image today, it offers us a glimpse into history while also reminding us of timeless beauty and style. It serves as a testament to how fashion has always been intertwined with society's political climate – whether royalist or republican – reflecting both personal expression and societal change. This exquisite piece from Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate not only its artistic merit but also invites us to delve deeper into an era where fashion played such an integral role in shaping identity and culture.
