EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Merveilleuses in the French Revolutionary era, 1792-1799" transports us back to a time of elegance and extravagance. The print showcases two women dressed in exquisite costumes that epitomize the fashion trends of the late 18th century. The woman on the left dons a wide-brimmed cap, fichu (a triangular scarf), and a high-waisted robe. Her attire exudes sophistication and refinement. Meanwhile, her companion wears a transparent Neoclassical robe with her hair styled in the Greek fashion. This choice of clothing reflects their status as stylish citoyennes during an era marked by revolution. The handcolored engraving beautifully captures every intricate detail of their outfits, highlighting the skillful artistry involved in its creation. It is evident that these costumes were designed to emphasize femininity and allure. Beyond mere clothing, this image also speaks to notions of beauty and coquetry prevalent during this period. These Merveilleuses embody an idealized standard of attractiveness through their titillating hairstyles and stunning appearances. As we gaze upon this artwork from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are transported into a world where fashion was not merely about dressing up but rather an expression of individuality and social standing. This print serves as both a historical document showcasing 18th-century style trends and as an aesthetic delight for those who appreciate fine art from centuries past.
