EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored engraving, titled 'La Sage Femme' (The Wise Woman), is a captivating image from Nicolas Bonnart's 'Recueil des modes de la cour de France' (Collection of the Modes of the French Court), created between approximately 1678 and 1693. The image showcases a woman standing proudly before an ornate, blue background, adorned in the latest French fashion of the late 17th century. The woman wears a voluminous, blue gown with a fitted bodice, long, puffed sleeves, and a full, flowing train. The intricate detailing of the gown is evident in the delicate lettering and embellishments, which adorn the fabric. The woman's hair is styled in an elaborate, high updo, with curls cascading down her shoulders and chest. The Baroque era, characterized by grandeur, opulence, and ornate detailing, is reflected in the elaborate design of the woman's gown and the rich, vibrant color of the background. This image is a testament to the importance of fashion during this period, as well as the skill and artistry of the artist, Nicolas Bonnart. The 'Recueil des modes de la cour de France' was a popular series of fashion plates that documented the latest trends and styles of the French court. These prints were widely circulated and served as a source of inspiration for the European elite, who sought to emulate the fashionable trends of the French aristocracy. This hand-colored engraving is now part of the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), and is a valuable addition to their extensive collection of historic art and fashion. The image offers a glimpse into the world of 17th century French fashion, and serves as a reminder of the enduring influence of the Baroque era on art and culture.
