EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite engraving, titled 'Dame de Qualité en Manteau' by Nicolas Bonnart, dates back to the 17th century and is a captivating representation of French fashion during the Baroque era. The image, housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), depicts a woman of high status wearing a luxurious mantua, a fashionable garment popular among the French aristocracy between circa 1682 and circa 1686. The woman is shown gracefully seated, her posture exuding elegance and refinement. She wears an ornate green mantua, adorned with gold and metallic threads intricately woven into the fabric. The mantua is secured at the shoulders with a lute-shaped brooch, a common accessory during this period. Her hair is styled in an elaborate, high-piled coif, held in place with an intricate hairdo, and adorned with pearls and other precious stones. The woman is depicted playing a stringed musical instrument, possibly a lute, adding to the image's artistic and cultural significance. The engraving is hand-colored, with vibrant hues of green and other colors bringing the image to life. The intricate details of the woman's clothing, the textures of the fabrics, and the delicate threads used in the embroidery are all expertly captured in this stunning work of art. This engraving offers a glimpse into the opulence and grandeur of the French court during the Baroque era, providing a valuable insight into the fashion, art, and culture of the time. The intricate details and beautiful colors make it a must-see for anyone interested in the history of fashion, art, or the 17th century.
