The Small Toilette
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that showcases the exquisite engraving by Pietro Antonio Martini. This stunning piece, created in the late 18th century, transports us to an opulent interior where a group of individuals engage in the art of personal grooming. In this scene, we witness a male figure seated at a lavish dressing table, surrounded by servants attending to his every need. The hairdresser delicately arranges curls while presenting various clothing options for the gentleman's consideration. With an air of elegance and style, he sits confidently as others stand nearby, awaiting his final choice. The fashion depicted here reflects the refined taste of Louis XVI's reign. Lace-trimmed garments and elaborate headdresses adorned with feathers add to the overall aesthetic appeal. A hidden painting peeks through behind a curtain, hinting at aristocratic indulgence and libertine tendencies. Notably present is a small dog perched on one corner of the table—a loyal companion amidst this grand display. The attention to detail in Martini's engraving captures both societal norms and individual expressions within this intimate moment. This remarkable print offers viewers a glimpse into an era defined by luxury and sophistication. It serves as a reminder of how fashion has always played an integral role in expressing one's identity and social status throughout history.
