EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored engraving, titled "Damoiselle en Deuil" (Maid in Mourning), is a captivating example of French fashion during the Baroque era, as depicted in Henri Bonnart's Recueil des modes de la cour de France (Gallery of Modes of the French Court), created between 1703 and 1704. The image showcases a young woman in deep mourning, dressed in the robe à la française, a popular style of the time. She stands gracefully, holding a handheld fan, her somber attire adorned with intricate black lace and embroidery. The damask fabric of her dress is richly textured, adding depth and dimension to the print. The mourning dress, with its high collar and long, flowing sleeves, reflects the societal norms of the 18th century, where elaborate and prolonged displays of mourning were common. The woman's serious expression and the somber color palette of the print further emphasize the solemn occasion. Henri Bonnart, a skilled artist of the time, masterfully captured the essence of French court fashion during the Baroque era. His work, which includes over 1,200 engravings, served as a valuable record of the clothing trends of the time. This particular print is now part of the permanent collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), providing a glimpse into the historic fashion and art of the 1700s.
