EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite engraving, titled 'Femme de Qualité en Habit d'Este' by Nicolas Arnoult, dates back to the 17th century and is a captivating representation of affluence and fashion at the French court. The image, part of Arnoult's renowned series 'Recueil des modes de la cour de France,' showcases a woman of high standing dressed in the latest summer fashion. The lady is depicted wearing a richly colored ensemble, with a maroon and blue dress adorned with intricate patterns, and a matching headdress that adds an elegant touch to her appearance. The dress, which is cinched at the waist and flows gracefully to the ground, is a testament to the opulence and extravagance of the French court during this period. The woman's headdress, which features a tall, conical shape topped with a delicate blue ribbon, is a common feature of the fashionable headwear of the time. The overall effect of the image is one of refinement and elegance, a reflection of the wealth and status of the woman depicted. This hand-colored engraving on paper, which is now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of 17th-century French fashion and the role of the court in setting trends. The image is a valuable heritage art piece that continues to inspire and captivate audiences today, offering a window into a bygone era of affluence and style.
