EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite print captures the elegance and opulence of the 18th-century French aristocracy. Titled "Grand Robe a La Francais" this plate from Galeries des Modes et Costumes Francais, engraved by Voysard, is a true masterpiece. The image showcases a stunning ballgown worn by an aristocratic lady, adorned with intricate floral patterns and frilled details. The focal point of the ensemble is undoubtedly the plumed hat and elaborate headdress, which adds an air of grandeur to her appearance. Standing on a balcony, she exudes confidence and grace as she gazes into the distance. Her full-length dress with its bustle style accentuates her figure while maintaining tradition. Every aspect of this fashion statement speaks volumes about French society during that era - from the powdered wig to the flamboyant feathered fan held delicately in her hand. The matching headwear further emphasizes her status as a member of high society. This colored engraving by Claude Louis Desrais beautifully captures not only the fashion trends but also serves as a historical record of traditional costumes worn by women at formal events. It transports us back in time to witness firsthand how aristocrats dressed for balls and other social gatherings. Displayed proudly in private collections today, this piece continues to inspire awe and admiration for its timeless beauty and representation of an era long gone but forever cherished through artistry like this enchanting engraving from Bridgeman Images.
