EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored lithograph captures the essence of Parisian fashion during the Directory period (1795-1799) with its depiction of a fashionable woman in the petite maitresse style. The woman is dressed in a pink gown adorned with green rosettes, a trend that was popular among the Parisiennes of the time. Her outfit is further accentuated by a bonnet adorned with vibrant flowers, adding a touch of elegance and femininity to her appearance. The illustration is the work of Francois-Claudius Compte-Calix, a renowned French artist known for his intricate and detailed designs. The lithograph, produced in Paris in 1865, showcases Compte-Calix's mastery of the medium, with the delicate shading and vibrant colors bringing the image to life. The petite maitresse style emerged during the late 18th century and was characterized by its simplicity and elegance. Women wore gowns that were fitted at the waist and flared out at the hips, creating an hourglass silhouette. The use of rosettes and flowers was a common motif, reflecting the natural beauty and grace of the French countryside. This image offers a glimpse into the fashionable world of the Parisian elite during a pivotal period in French history. The Directory was a time of political instability and social upheaval, but it also marked the beginning of a new era in French fashion. The petite maitresse style, with its emphasis on simplicity and elegance, would continue to influence fashion trends for decades to come.
