EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored engraving, titled 'Le marchand d'Allumettes' or 'The Match Seller,' is a masterpiece from the Recueil des modes de la cour de France, created by the talented father-son duo, Nicolas Bonnart and Jean-Baptiste Bonnart, in the late 17th century. The print, which dates from approximately 1674, showcases the vibrant and intricate fashion trends of the Baroque era in France. The image features a man, dressed in the latest fashion, standing on a bustling street. He is identified as a match seller by the large basket of matches he holds in front of him. The man's outfit is a testament to the opulence and colorful nature of the time, with a green coat, a red waistcoat, and a yellow lining peeking out from beneath. The rich, earthy tones of the print are further accentuated by the use of hand-coloring, which adds depth and texture to the image. The lettering at the bottom of the print, written in elegant script, reveals the title and the creators' names. The intricate detailing of the man's clothing, the textured background, and the use of color all contribute to the overall aesthetic of the print, which is a reflection of the artistic and cultural heritage of the 17th century. This historic artwork, now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, offers a glimpse into the fashion and lifestyle of the Baroque era, providing a valuable insight into the history of apparel and the artistic traditions of the time.
