EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored lithograph depicts a woman dressed in the revolutionary tricolor outfit, a symbol of the French Revolution's spirit and patriotism. The woman wears a striped bonnet and a dress featuring red and white horizontal stripes, evoking the French national colors. The ensemble is completed with a blue sash and a blue underskirt, adding an elegant touch to the overall look. The illustration is an exquisite example of the Parisian fashions during the Directory period (1795-1799), created by the talented French artist Francois-Claudius Compte-Calix. The print, published in Paris in 1865, showcases the woman's sophisticated style and her commitment to the revolutionary ideals. The French Revolution, marked by radical social and political upheaval, brought about significant changes in various aspects of society, including fashion. The tricolor outfit became a popular choice among the Parisiennes, reflecting their pride in their new republic and their desire to express their patriotism through their clothing. The intricate details of the woman's outfit, from the delicate stripes on her bonnet to the elegant folds of her blue underskirt, are beautifully rendered in this handcolored lithograph. The rich colors and the artist's skillful use of shading add depth and dimension to the image, making it a stunning representation of the revolutionary era's fashion and spirit.
