EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 17th century print, titled "Femme de Qualité, en d'Eshabille d'Este" by Nicolas Arnoult, showcases the elegant and intricately designed attire of a high-class woman from the French court during the 1680s. The image, part of Arnoult's comprehensive "Recueil des modes de la cour de France" collection, is a hand-colored engraving on paper that captures the essence of the sumptuous clothing worn by the nobility of the time. The woman in the print is depicted in an informal setting, wearing a beautiful summer robe, or "eshabille," made of rich fabrics adorned with elaborate embroidery and needlework. The robe is in the style of the Este family, known for their refined taste and fashion influence at the French court. The color palette is dominated by soft pastels, with shades of pink, blue, and green, reflecting the seasonal trends of the time. The print provides a glimpse into the social class distinctions and the importance of fashion in 17th century France. The upper class, as represented by the woman in the print, took great pride in their appearance and adhered to the latest fashion trends, often setting new styles for the rest of society. The intricate designs and attention to detail in the print are a testament to the time, effort, and resources devoted to creating such beautiful and high-quality garments. This print is now part of the textile and costume collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it serves as an important historical and artistic record of the fashion and culture of the 17th century French court.
