EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a young man exuding elegance and style in his white silk jacket with a painted waistcoat. Engraved by Dupin, this plate no. 265 from Galeries des Modes et Costumes Francais captures the essence of traditional French fashion between 1778-87. The intricate details of the clothing are brought to life through Watteau's skillful illustration, highlighting the fashionable trends of the time. The young man's attire is complemented by his choice of accessories, including a cane or walking stick, adding an air of sophistication to his overall appearance. The frame surrounding this exquisite piece adds a touch of grandeur and serves as a reminder that fashion was not only about clothing but also about presentation and status during the 18th century. This colored engraving transports us back to an era where waistcoats were considered essential components of men's traditional dress. It offers us a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate how fashions have evolved over time while still maintaining elements that continue to inspire contemporary styles. As part of The Stapleton Collection in a private collection, this artwork holds historical significance and cultural value. Its presence reminds us that fashion is not merely about garments but also reflects societal norms and aspirations throughout different periods in history.
