EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the elegance and opulence of the era of Marie Antoinette. The woman in the image is adorned in a tall pouf hairstyle and a luxurious taffeta dress with a flowing train, exuding sophistication and grace. What truly sets this image apart is the presence of a black page carrying her train, adding an intriguing element of contrast and social commentary.
The juxtaposition of the wealthy dame de qualite with her African servant challenges traditional notions of power dynamics and societal norms prevalent during that time period. The engraving by Auguste Etienne Guillaumot beautifully captures this moment, showcasing both the beauty of fashion and the complexities of historical relationships.
Originally illustrated by Claude Louis Desrais for Gallerie des Modes et Costumes Francais in 1778-1787, this piece has been preserved through time to offer us a glimpse into the past. The intricate details and exquisite craftsmanship make it a true work of art that continues to captivate viewers centuries later.
As we admire this piece, let us reflect on its significance in history and appreciate the artistry that went into creating such a timeless depiction of luxury and privilege.
