EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph from the Directoire era transports us back to 1825, showcasing a fashionable woman or "Merveilleuse" in all her elegance. The artist, Hippolyte Lecomte, beautifully captures the essence of this period with his attention to detail and artistic flair. The woman depicted exudes confidence and style as she dons a low-cut muslin ball gown adorned with intricate gold embroidery and roses cascading diagonally across the fabric. Her hair is styled in a classical Greek fashion, adding an air of sophistication to her overall look. This lithograph is part of Lorenzo Bianchi and Domenico Cuciniello's handcoloured edition of Lecomte's work on civilian and military costumes of the French monarchy from 1200 to 1820. It showcases not only the fashion trends but also serves as a historical document reflecting the societal changes during this time. The image evokes a sense of nostalgia for an era marked by revolution and change. The French Revolution had just concluded, leaving its mark on both politics and fashion. This print allows us to glimpse into the past, appreciating the exquisite attire worn by women during this transformative period in history. Whether displayed in a gallery or adorning your own space, this lithograph invites you to immerse yourself in the beauty and allure of early 19th-century France while celebrating one woman's impeccable taste and timeless style.
