1800s Afternoon Afternoon Dress Hand Coloured Etching On Paper January Matinee Month Speaking Talking Theatre Box

EDITORS COMMENTS
This beautiful and intricately detailed fashion plate, titled "Afternoon Dress for Jany. 1801," is an engraved and hand-colored etching on paper from the early 19th century. The image depicts two young women, elegantly dressed in afternoon attire, seated in a theater box during a matinee performance. The dresses they wear are full-length, with the one on the left featuring a yellow, hand-tinted gown adorned with delicate floral patterns and a high waistline. The dress on the right is also hand-colored, with a darker, richly textured fabric and a more subdued color palette. The women are engaged in conversation, with one leaning forward to speak to the other, while the other listens intently. The theater box, with its ornate decorations and red velvet seats, adds to the sense of opulence and refinement. This fashion plate, which is believed to have originated in Britain, provides a fascinating glimpse into the fashion trends and social customs of the time. Today, it is preserved and displayed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to captivate and inspire visitors with its intricate details and historical significance.
