EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 16th century in Paris, France, showcasing the elegance and sophistication of a bourgeois woman. The artist, Petit, skillfully captures every detail of her attire and demeanor. Dressed in a stunning black gown adorned with intricate embroidery and lace, she stands tall with poise and grace. The fashion of the 16th century is on full display here, as this lady's headdress adds an air of grandeur to her ensemble. With its elaborate design and delicate veil cascading down her back, it perfectly complements her regal appearance. In one hand, she holds a small purse that exudes opulence. The vibrant colors used in this print bring life to the scene while also highlighting the richness of French culture during this period. The contrast between the dark hues of her dress and the vivid background creates a visually striking composition. As we gaze upon this portrait engraving from La France et les Francais a Travers les Siecles collection by F Roy editor, A Challamel (1882-1884), we are transported into another era filled with beauty and refinement. It serves as a reminder of how fashion has evolved over time while still retaining elements that continue to inspire contemporary designers. This remarkable piece allows us to appreciate both the artistic talent behind it and gain insight into the lives led by women belonging to Parisian bourgeoisie centuries ago.
