EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking fashion plate, created by John Bell in the early 1810s, showcases an elegant and fashionable walking dress from the Regency era. The intricately detailed engraving, hand-colored in shades of brown and green, depicts a well-dressed woman in a high-class promenade gown. The dress features a fitted bodice with a low neckline, long sleeves, and a full, voluminous skirt that flows gracefully as she takes a leisurely stroll. The green color of the gown adds a touch of freshness and vibrancy, while the brown accents provide a rich contrast. The robe-like drapery at the back of the dress adds an air of elegance and sophistication, reminiscent of the classical Greek goddess Diana. This fashion plate reflects the social and cultural norms of the time, with an emphasis on seasonal colors and textiles, as well as the importance of class and religious symbolism in fashion. The hand-coloured engraving on paper is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the time, and serves as a valuable historical record of fashion during the early 19th century. This beautiful piece is now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors.
