EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured lithograph, titled 'Lady of the Court of King Louis XVI, France, 1782,' offers a captivating glimpse into the opulent world of the French royal court during the late 18th century. The image depicts a graceful and elegantly dressed lady of the court, her regal bearing and poised demeanor reflecting the refined etiquette and sophistication of the time. King Louis XVI, the monarch who reigned from 1774 until the French Revolution in 1789, is known for his patronage of the arts and his dedication to maintaining the grandeur of the French court. The courtiers, including the lady in this print, were expected to adhere to a strict code of conduct, dressing in the latest fashions and engaging in courtly activities such as dancing, music, and conversation. The intricately detailed costume of the lady in this print is a testament to the meticulous attention given to fashion during this period. Her voluminous gown, adorned with delicate floral patterns and a lavish train, is accessorized with a matching shawl and a fashionable bonnet. The lady's elaborate hairstyle, featuring intricate curls and an ornate headdress, is a reflection of the time and effort devoted to personal grooming. This handcoloured lithograph, published by Le Bibliophile Jacob, also known as Paul Lacroix, in 1852, is a valuable historical record of the fashion and culture of the French court during the reign of King Louis XVI. The print, which is part of the 'Historical Costumes of France' series, provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of the French aristocracy and the opulence and elegance of the Ancien Régime.
