EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored lithograph, titled "A Woman in Wine-Colored Redingote," is an enchanting depiction of 18th-century elegance and refinement, taken from the esteemed publication "Fashions and Customs of Marie Antoinette and her Times" by Comte de Reiset, published in Paris in 1885. The image showcases a woman dressed in a stunning wine-red redingote, a fashionable coat with a long, hip-length skirt and a short, fitted jacket, both adorned with elegant buttons and intricate detailing. The woman holds a cane in one hand, adding an air of sophistication and grace, while in the other hand, she tenderly cradles a fragrant rose. The serene setting of this scene is reminiscent of the opulent gardens of Versailles, where the court of Marie Antoinette once reveled in the beauty and splendor of the French monarchy. The woman's elegant attire, the delicate rose, and the cane all serve as a testament to the refined taste and grace that defined the era. This image is a beautiful example of the intricate detail and artistry that characterized the fashion illustrations of the time. It was produced by Madame Eloffe, a renowned dressmaker and linen-merchant to the Queen and ladies of the court, whose expertise in fashion and textiles was unparalleled. The handcoloring adds a rich depth and vibrancy to the lithograph, bringing the image to life and transporting us back to a time of elegance, luxury, and beauty.
