EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored engraving, titled "Femme de Qualité en Echarpe" (Woman of Quality with a Scarf) by Nicolas Arnoult, dates from the 1680s and is a captivating representation of the fashionable attire of the French court during the late seventeenth century. The elegant woman depicted wears a high-quality robe, adorned with intricate patterns and rich colors, reflecting her elevated social status. The robe is accessorized with a luxurious headscarf, adding an air of sophistication and refinement. The image is taken from the "Recueil des modes de la cour de France" (Compendium of the Modes of the French Court) by Nicolas Arnoult, a renowned French engraver and publisher of fashion plates. The collection was one of the most popular and influential fashion publications of the time, documenting the latest trends and styles worn by the French nobility. The woman's attire is a testament to the opulence and grandeur of the French court during this period. The intricate textiles, vibrant colors, and elegant designs showcase the wealth and power of the French monarchy and the aristocracy. The image also provides a glimpse into the social hierarchy of the time, with the woman's well-dressed appearance signifying her membership in the upper class. The "Femme de Qualité en Echarpe" is now part of the permanent collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it is preserved for future generations to appreciate the rich heritage of fashion history. The image continues to inspire and captivate audiences, offering a window into the world of the French court and the fashion trends of the seventeenth century.
