EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is a handcolored lithograph of Pietro Longhi's painting 'The Dancing Lesson,' created around 1741 in Venice, Italy. The painting depicts a young Venetian woman, elegantly dressed in the fashion of the 18th century, receiving dancing instructions from an experienced master. The woman's graceful expression and the master's attentive gaze convey the serious yet enjoyable nature of the lesson. The intricate details of their costumes, as faithfully reproduced in this illustration by E. Lechevallier-Chevignard and skillfully lithographed by A. Didier, L. Flameng, and F. Laguillermie, offer a glimpse into the opulent and sophisticated world of 18th-century Venetian society. This exquisite print is taken from Georges Duplessis's renowned publication 'Costumes historiques des XVIe, XVIIe et XVIIIe siecles' (Historical costumes of the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries), published in Paris in 1867. The meticulous attention to detail and the preservation of historical accuracy make this image an invaluable resource for students of fashion history and art enthusiasts alike.
