EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored print, titled "Young Woman and Small Boy" and dating back to the 18th century, showcases the elegance and charm of French fashion during this period. The image, created by the renowned French artist Debucourt, was further enhanced by the skilled hand of E. Lechevallier-Chevignard, who added vibrant colors to the lithographs produced by A. Didier, L. Flameng, and F. Laguillermie. The young woman in the print is depicted in a stunning robe à la Française, a fashionable style popular during the late 1700s. The robe is adorned with intricate floral patterns and features a low-cut neckline, revealing a lace-trimmed chemisette. Her hair is styled in elaborate curls, held in place by a delicate ribbon. The young boy, dressed in a matching outfit, wears a frilly shirt and a short jacket, accessorized with a bow at the waist. The print is part of the "Historical costumes of the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries" series by Georges Duplessis, published in Paris in 1867. The collection aimed to preserve and document the fashion trends of the past, making it an invaluable resource for historians, fashion enthusiasts, and artists. This image offers a glimpse into the opulence and sophistication of French fashion during the 18th century, providing a window into a bygone era and showcasing the timeless beauty of historical costume design.
