EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and intricate print titled "Robe ala Circassienne Garnie ala Chartres: la Coeffure de meme, Avec le Tableau des Eve. . . 1770s" takes us back to the fashionable world of 18th century France. Created by an anonymous artist, this hand-colored etching showcases a scene filled with satire and caricature. The focal point of the image is a woman standing proudly in her exquisite dress. The robe à la Circassienne style was popular during this era, characterized by its loose-fitting silhouette and flowing fabric. Adorned with delicate details and adorned with ruffles, it epitomizes the fashion clothing of that time. But it's not just the attire that catches our attention; it's also the elaborate hairstyle or "coeffure" atop her head. This intricately styled hairdo adds height and drama to her overall appearance, showcasing the artistry involved in hairdressing during this period. Surrounding our central figure are various figures engaging in lively conversation or perhaps even gossiping about current events depicted on a nearby tableau. Satirical elements can be found throughout the scene, adding humor and commentary on French society at that time. Displayed within an art gallery or museum setting like The Metropolitan Museum of Art (the Met), this antique print serves as a window into history—a glimpse into both fashion trends and cultural depictions from centuries past. It reminds us of how art can capture not only beauty but also social dynamics and historical
