EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "The beautiful and elegant Suzanne," is a stunning example of French fashion from the 18th century, as depicted in Pierre-Charles Baquoy's "Gallery of French Fashions and Costumes" (Serie AAA, 45th Cahier de Costumes Francais, 40th Suite d'Habillemens a la Mode, and 1785, Gallerie des Modes et Costumes Francais). Dressed in the latest trends, Suzanne is seen responding to a letter from her beloved Figaro, her graceful posture and elegant attire reflecting the sophistication and refinement of the era. The young woman wears a camisole and full skirt, both trimmed with delicate muslin fabric. The skirt boasts three layers of ruffles, adding volume and texture to the outfit. Atop her elaborate curled hairstyle sits a spherical bonnet adorned with a globe, a popular fashion accessory of the time. The intricate detailing and vibrant colors of the print showcase the artistry and craftsmanship of the period, with influences from both France and the Netherlands. Created by Pierre-Charles Baquoy, a renowned French artist, this print is an exquisite representation of the opulence and beauty of 18th-century fashion. The use of etching and watercolor techniques adds depth and texture to the image, making it a valuable addition to any collection of historical art or fashion. The print, which measures approximately 11 x 14 inches, is part of the Rijksmuseum's extensive collection of European art and textiles. It serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the time, offering a glimpse into the world of fashion and art during the late 1700s.
