EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning Fashion Plate, created by renowned English publisher and printmaker Rudolph Ackermann in 1819, showcases an elegant evening dress of the Regency era. The dress, with its empire line and short sleeves, is adorned with intricate white lace and black floral patterns, creating a captivating contrast against the dark background. The wearer of this gown sits gracefully, her posture exuding elegance and refinement. Acanimals, a common motif in Ackermann's works, are also present in this print. Two playful dogs, one with a lyre in its mouth, flank the seated figure, adding a whimsical touch to the image. The woman's head is adorned with a delicate headdress, further accentuating her regal appearance. The engraving, executed in black and white, showcases the intricate details of the dress and the accessories, from the ruff at the neckline to the voluminous robe draped over the chair behind the woman. The musical instrument in the dogs' mouths is a subtle reminder of the importance of music and entertainment in Regency society. This Fashion Plate is a testament to the artistic and cultural heritage of the 19th century, providing a glimpse into the fashion trends and societal norms of the time. The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) is fortunate to have this rare and beautiful piece in its collection, allowing us to appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship of Rudolph Ackermann and the Regency era.
