EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled "Design: Draped Figures," is a stunning engraving from the renowned French encyclopedia, Encyclopédie, published between 1762 and 1777. The design is attributed to the skilled hands of André-Jacob Desfontaines, also known as A.J. Defehrt, and the etching was executed by Antoine Claude Briasson and Laurent Durand. The intricately draped figures in this artwork epitomize the height of 18th-century classical elegance and refinement. The image showcases two female figures, their bodies artfully draped in voluminous fabrics that cascade down their forms, revealing the delicate curves and contours of their bodies. The figures are depicted in a serene and graceful pose, with one figure holding a fan and the other adjusting her drapery. The intricate folds and textures of the fabric are meticulously rendered, revealing the masterful skill of the engraver. The image, etched on cream laid paper, is a testament to the enduring beauty and timelessness of classical art. The design is a fascinating glimpse into the fashion and culture of the time, providing a window into the world of 18th-century France. This artwork is a must-see for anyone with an appreciation for art, fashion, and history. Whether displayed in an art gallery or art institute, this engraving is sure to be a conversation starter and a source of inspiration for generations to come.
