EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored engraving, titled "Femme de Marchand en Deshabillé d'Este" (Wife of a Merchant in Dishabille d'Este), is a captivating representation of fashion and social class in the 17th century French court, as depicted in Nicolas Arnoult's "Recueil des modes de la cour de France" (Compendium of the Modes of the French Court). Created in the 1680s, this artwork showcases a well-dressed woman in an informal setting, wearing a summer robe. The woman, identified as a merchant's wife, is depicted in a deshabille, or dressing gown, which was considered a sign of leisure and relaxation within the upper classes. The vibrant colors and intricate textiles of her robe reflect the high quality and luxury associated with the French court. The location of the scene is not explicitly stated, but the elegant setting and refined attire suggest a law court or a royal audience. The woman's pose, with her hand resting on her hip and her gaze directed towards the viewer, exudes confidence and self-assurance. This image offers a glimpse into the world of the French aristocracy during the seventeenth century, providing insights into the seasonal fashions, social classes, and the role of women in this era. Today, this precious artwork is preserved at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), making it accessible to art lovers and historians alike.
