EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored engraving, titled "Femme de Qualité en Habit d'Este" from the Recueil des modes de la cour de France by Nicolas Arnoult, dates back to the 1680s. The image showcases a well-dressed woman of high social class adorned in the latest fashion of the French court during the seventeenth century. The intricately designed robe, known as "Habit d'Este," is a testament to the opulence and grandeur of the era. The summer season is reflected in the light, vibrant colors of the woman's attire. The rich reds, greens, and blues are beautifully contrasted against the delicate white lace and embroidery. The voluminous gown, featuring a low-cut neckline and full sleeves, is accessorized with a matching mantilla and a large, ornate hat. The woman's elegant posture and refined expression convey a sense of confidence and sophistication. Her attire, a symbol of her wealth and status, would have been worn to important social events, such as court functions or law courts. The intricate textiles, intricate patterns, and high-quality materials used in the creation of this gown were essential in maintaining one's reputation as a person of distinction. This image, now a part of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's collection, offers a glimpse into the world of French royalty and the fashion trends of the 17th century. The meticulous detail and stunning color palette make this hand-colored engraving a true masterpiece of heritage art.
