EDITORS COMMENTS
This colored engraving, titled "Illustration no. 32, Costume of the Bois d'Embourg near Rouen" offers a glimpse into the traditional attire worn by the women of this quaint French village. Measuring at an impressive 53x84.9 cm, this print showcases the meticulous attention to detail and vibrant colors that are characteristic of French School artwork. The young woman depicted in this illustration exudes elegance and grace as she stands confidently in her traditional costume. Her bonnet frames her face delicately, while her hands are clasped together in a gesture that hints at both modesty and pride. The checked shawl draped over her shoulders adds a touch of rustic charm to her ensemble. Set against the backdrop of Embourg Wood, located just three leagues from Rouen, this scene transports us back in time to a bygone era when such traditional dress was still prevalent in everyday life. The artist's skillful use of engraving brings out every intricate detail - from the headdress adorned with delicate patterns to the folds and textures of the fabric. This remarkable piece is part of a private collection which cherishes its historical significance and cultural value. It serves as a testament to France's rich heritage and pays homage to its diverse regional traditions. Philippe Toutain's masterful creation invites us to appreciate not only the beauty captured within this illustration but also the stories it tells about centuries-old customs that continue to shape our understanding of French culture today.
