EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print, we are transported back to the elegance and romance of 18th-century France. The image showcases an elegant gentleman proposing to a lady in a stunning Marguerite-style dress and a hat à la Henri IV. The scene exudes charm and sophistication, capturing the essence of courtly love during this era. The gentleman, dressed impeccably in his fine attire, gazes at the lady with adoration as he presents her with a heartfelt proposal. His confident demeanor suggests that he is no stranger to wooing women's hearts. Meanwhile, the lady appears both surprised and delighted by his advances, her eyes sparkling with excitement. The intricate details of their costumes reflect the fashion trends of the time – from the delicate lace trimmings on her dress to his elaborate hat adorned with feathers. Every element has been carefully engraved by Louis Joseph Watteau de Lille after an original design from Galerie des Modes et Costumes Français. This enchanting engraving captures not only a moment between two lovers but also offers us a glimpse into French society during this period. It reminds us of an era where grand gestures were made for love and courtship was an art form in itself. Displayed proudly in private collections around the world, this print continues to evoke feelings of nostalgia and admiration for its timeless depiction of romance and style.
