EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored lithograph captures the elegant and sophisticated style of Parisian fashion during the Directory period (1795-1799) in France. The central figure is a woman dressed in the height of fashion, wearing a stunning green full skirt made of silk. The skirt is adorned with intricate floral edging, adding an air of elegance and refinement to the outfit. Atop her head, she wears a striking feathered bonnet, its plumes cascading down her back in a graceful manner. The bonnet is a testament to the popularity of feathers in fashion during this time, which were often used to add height and volume to hairstyles and headpieces. The woman's upper body is covered by a scarlet velvet jacket, the rich red color adding a bold and dramatic touch to the outfit. The jacket's sleeves are long and full, adding to the overall volume and grandeur of the ensemble. The illustration is the work of Francois-Claudius Compte-Calix, a renowned French artist and fashion designer of the time. The print was produced in Paris in 1865, providing a glimpse into the fashion trends of the late 18th century. The handcoloring adds an extra layer of detail and beauty to the illustration, making it a true work of art. This image offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of Parisian fashion during the Directory period, a time of great change and upheaval in French history. The woman's elegant and sophisticated attire stands in stark contrast to the political turmoil and social upheaval that was taking place in France at the time, making it a captivating and intriguing representation of the era.
