EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Femme de Qualité Etant a L'Eglise" (A Woman of Quality Going to Church), is a masterpiece by Jean de Dieu from the Recueil des modes de la cour de France (Collection of Modes at the French Court) series, created in 1685. The image showcases the opulence and grandeur of the French aristocracy during the seventeenth century. The woman depicted in this hand-colored engraving on paper is dressed in the finest attire, donning a voluminous black gown with a matching headscarf and shawl. Her head is adorned with an elaborate headdress, adding to her regal appearance. The woman is shown kneeling in a posture of deep reverence, her hands folded in prayer, as she enters the church. The use of rich, deep colors - black and red - adds to the somber yet elegant atmosphere of the scene. The image is a testament to the strong influence of Christianity and the religious practices of the French nobility during this time. The woman's devout posture and the somber color palette reflect the importance of faith and worship in their daily lives. The intricate details of her clothing and headgear, as well as the ornate interior of the church, demonstrate the wealth and affluence of the French aristocracy. This engraving is a valuable heritage art piece, showcasing the fashion, arts, and cultural practices of the seventeenth century. It is currently housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world.
