EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured lithograph, titled "Coiffure au Parterre Galant" by de Laubadere, is a stunning representation of fashion during the era of King Louis XVI. The image captures a woman adorned in an elaborate hairstyle, known as a parterre, which was a popular trend among the French aristocracy during the late 18th century. The hairstyle features a cascade of roses and lace artfully arranged on the woman's head, creating a lush and romantic effect. The woman holds a delicate box, known as a racy parterre, which was used to store and transport the flowers and other decorative elements for the hairstyle. The intricate detail and vibrant colors of this print, taken from Octave Uzanne's "Stylish Hairstyles or Eccentric Finery," showcase the extravagance and elegance of the time. The use of handcoloring adds a richness and depth to the image, making it a true work of art. The woman's regal posture and serene expression convey the grace and sophistication of the French aristocracy. The parterre hairstyle was a symbol of wealth and status, as the elaborate arrangements required a great deal of time, money, and resources to create. The use of fresh flowers, lace, and other luxurious materials made these hairstyles a status symbol for the wealthy elite. The print serves as a fascinating glimpse into the fashion and culture of the late 18th century, offering a glimpse into the opulence and extravagance of the French aristocracy during the reign of King Louis XVI.
