EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1796 showcases a woman citizen of ancient Rome, elegantly dressed in a palla (cloak) and stola (robe). Her hair is adorned with a mitra (headband), adding to her regal appearance. The artist, L. F. Labrousse, meticulously handcolored the copperplate print, bringing life to every intricate detail. The setting of the image is equally impressive, featuring a column, obelisk, and colonnade that create an atmosphere of grandeur. This depiction offers us a glimpse into the society and fashion of ancient Rome during the 18th century. The woman's attire reflects not only her social class but also the cultural norms of that era. Her clothing signifies her status as a respected citizen within Roman society. It serves as both an expression of personal style and an indication of her place in the hierarchy. Labrousse's engraving captures the essence of this historical period with precision and artistry. Through his work, we are transported back in time to witness the beauty and sophistication that characterized ancient Rome. This remarkable piece belongs to a private collection but has been made available for public appreciation through Fine Art Finder by Bridgeman Images. Its presence allows us to appreciate not only its aesthetic value but also gain insight into our shared human history.
