EDITORS COMMENTS
This beautiful handcoloured lithograph captures the elegance and charm of a woman from the French Directory period, as depicted in an illustration by Francois-Claudius Compte-Calix. The woman is dressed in a pansy-coloured gown, accessorized with a chiffon apron, a cornette a la paysanne hat adorned with white ribbons, long pink gloves, and a delicate lace shawl. Her fichu, a triangular piece of fabric worn around the neck, adds a touch of sophistication to her ensemble. The intricate details of her corsage and the delicate pleats of her gown are accentuated by the meticulous hand-coloring of A. Lacourriere. The Directory period, which followed the French Revolution, was marked by a shift towards a more simplified and practical fashion style. However, this image showcases the continued influence of the opulent and ornate fashion trends of the pre-revolutionary era. The woman's attire is reminiscent of the Rococo and Napoléon eras, with its voluminous skirts, intricate detailing, and the use of pastel colors. The illustration, titled "Les Modes Parisienne sous le Directoire," was published by the Bureaux des Modes Parisiennes in Paris in 1871. The lithograph, produced by A. Lacourriere, offers a glimpse into the fashion trends of the time and serves as a testament to the enduring allure of the French fashion scene during the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
