EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite watercolor painting, titled "Young woman of North Holland" by Paulus Constantijn la Fargue, dates back to the 18th century and offers a captivating glimpse into the fashion and lifestyle of the Dutch people during that era. The young woman, dressed in traditional attire, stands proudly before us, her full-length figure adorned with intricate details that speak volumes about the meticulousness and artistry of the time. The young woman wears a full skirt, which is gathered at the waist and falls in soft, flowing folds to the ground. A farthingale, a rigid hoop worn under the skirt to create volume, is evident from the distinct shape of her silhouette. Her apron, made of animal material such as parchment or net, is secured around her waist, adding a practical touch to her elegant attire. Her collar, adorned with delicate lace, frames her face and neck, while her sleeves, with their voluminous, billowing ends, are held in place by rings or ringlets. Her hair, styled in ringlets and held in place with ribbons, cascades down her back, adding to her youthful charm. The painting, executed in watercolor, showcases the artist's mastery of the medium, with the use of vibrant colors and intricate details that bring the young woman and her attire to life. This artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum in the Netherlands, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Europe during the 18th century and serves as an enduring reminder of the beauty and elegance of the past.
