EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning Fashion Plate, created by Rudolph Ackermann in 1817, showcases an elegant Parisian ballgown of the Regency era. The dress, with its empire line and short sleeves, was a popular choice for formal occasions during the early 19th century in both France and Britain. The empire gown, characterized by its high waistline and full skirt, allowed for a more fluid and graceful silhouette. The dress is adorned with intricate detailing, including a bow at the back and a delicate floral pattern along the bodice. The short sleeves are adorned with lace, adding an air of femininity and delicacy to the ensemble. The model's hair is styled in an elegant updo, with a large bow at the nape of her neck, and she accessorizes the dress with a necklace and a pair of gloves. This hand-colored engraving on paper, produced by Rudolph Ackermann in London, offers a glimpse into the fashion trends of the time and the aesthetic preferences of the Regency era. The use of color and the attention to detail in the engraving make this a beautiful and valuable piece of historic art. The image is now part of the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, where it serves as an important reminder of the rich fashion history of the 19th century.
