EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Elegant Woman in a Caraco a la Polonaise and a hat a la Devonshire" takes us back to the fashion trends of 18th-century France. The image showcases an exquisite lady adorned in an intricately designed morning dress, made from delicate gauze fabric. Her attire reflects the height of elegance during this period, with its polished appearance and attention to detail. The woman's ensemble is complemented by her choice of accessories. A vibrant parrot perches on her arm, adding a touch of exoticism to the scene. Its colorful feathers beautifully contrast against the soft tones of her outfit. A ribbon delicately tied around the bird's leg adds another layer of charm. The hat she wears, known as "a la Devonshire" further enhances her allure. Its intricate design features ribbons and embellishments that perfectly match her ensemble. This fashionable headpiece was highly sought after at the time for its ability to elevate any outfit. Etched into an engraving by Pierre Thomas Le Clerc after an original work by Etienne Claude Voysard, this artwork captures not only the beauty but also the artistry involved in creating such elaborate costumes. Displayed within private collections today, this print serves as a window into history—a glimpse into French fashion during one of its most opulent eras.
