EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving showcases Gustaf III of Sweden, dressed in his national costume from the late 18th century. The image, titled "Gustaf III's national costume for women, 1780," is part of the extensive collection of the Nordic Museum Foundation in Stockholm, Sweden. The intricately detailed illustration offers a glimpse into the fashion and culture of the time, with Gustaf III donning a voluminous, full-length gown adorned with elaborate gold brocade and silver thread embroidery. The high-waisted, narrow silhouette of the dress is accentuated by a wide, padded belt, which cinches the waist and creates an hourglass figure. The long, flowing sleeves are adorned with ruffles and lace, adding to the overall opulence of the ensemble. Gustaf III, also known as Gustavus III, was the King of Sweden from 1771 until his assassination in 1792. This portrait, which depicts him in traditional Swedish attire, underscores his deep connection to his country and its rich heritage. The image also features a fan, which was a popular accessory for women during this period, adding an air of elegance and refinement to the portrait. The meticulously drawn hairdo, with its intricate braids and curls, is a testament to the art of hairdressing during the 18th century. The lettering on the print, which reads "Neue Schwedische Kleidertracht der Frauenzimmer" or "New Swedish Costume for Ladies," further emphasizes the historical significance of the image. This artwork offers a fascinating glimpse into the fashion, culture, and history of Sweden during the late 18th century.
