EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases a scene straight out of 18th-century France. Entitled "Gallerie des Modes Petite Mistress reading letter" it depicts a young woman engrossed in the contents of a letter, dressed in an exquisite robe à la Polonaise adorned with delicate muslin fabric. The fashion plate captures every intricate detail of her attire and accessories. Her high hairstyle boasts an elegant pouf, accentuated by a graceful egret perched atop. The petite mistress completes her ensemble with a cord necklace, bracelets, ring, chatelaine, and shoes embellished with heels and buckles. Preliminary drawing for Gallerie des Modes et Costumes Français in 1778 inspired this masterpiece. Created by Pierre Thomas Le Clerc using paper, ink, and brush techniques, the artwork measures approximately 245 mm in height and 175 mm in width. Transporting us back to an era defined by opulence and refinement, this image encapsulates the essence of fashionable women during that time. With its stunning portrayal of both clothing trends and social customs through visual storytelling, it offers viewers a glimpse into the world of belle fashionistas immersed in their literary pursuits
