"18th Mode: A Glimpse into the Fashionable Era" Step back in time with these captivating artworks and garments that embody the essence of the 18th century. The "Unfinished Portrait of Marie Louise de Bourbon-Parma" showcases a delicate oil on canvas depiction, capturing the elegance and grace of this noblewoman. Meanwhile, Marie-Jeanne Buzeau's engraving immortalizes her talent as an artist during this period. In Catherine Greene's oil on canvas painting from 1769, we witness a woman adorned in exquisite attire, reflecting the fashion trends of the era. Similarly, the "Portrait of Jane Hoskyns" portrays another fashionable figure donning lavish clothing between 1778 and 1780. Nathaniel Hurd's skillful brushwork brings to life an unknown subject from around 1765, allowing us to marvel at their regal appearance. Complementing these portraits are corsets made from woollen damask and linen—a testament to both style and functionality during this time. The allure continues with a chromolithograph titled "Portrait of Marie-Antoinette with a Rose, " which captures the beauty and poise associated with one of history's most iconic figures. Another example is Colonel Thomas Stanley's oil on canvas portrait dating from 1779-1810—an intriguing glimpse into military fashion during this period. Not limited to paintings alone, our exploration extends to textiles like cotton and silk housecoats crafted between c. 1725-c. 1749—garments that exude luxury even within private spaces. To add a touch of humor amidst all this splendor, we encounter a colorful lithograph titled "No Sir, I've Never Been afraid of a sans culotte. " This playful artwork pokes fun at societal norms while showcasing vibrant colors synonymous with early 20th-century prints.
