EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a dandy in all his fashionable glory. The subject, adorned in a Robinson hat with childlike curls cascading down his forehead, exudes an air of sophistication and style. His knitted trousers and riding boots further accentuate his impeccable taste in fashion. Plate 5 from the Incroyable et merveilleuse series of fashion plates, this engraving by Georges Jacques Gatine showcases the artistry and wit that was prevalent during its publication in 1797 Paris. Antoine Charles Horace Vernet's masterful execution brings to life the satirical nature of this piece. The dandy's pose is both confident and playful as he holds onto a cane, adding an extra touch of elegance to his ensemble. This image serves as a social commentary on the extravagant lifestyles led by these fashionable gentlemen during the Regency era. With every detail meticulously depicted, from the intricate curls to even the walking stick held firmly in hand, this print transports us back to a time when being a beau or fop was not just about appearance but also about making bold statements through fashion choices. A true testament to Carle Vernet's artistic prowess, this enchanting engraving invites us into a world where style knows no bounds and satire reigns supreme.
