EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning fashion plate from the year 1785. Created by Louis Joseph Watteau, also known as Watteau de Lille, this colour engraving is a true masterpiece of its time. Housed in the Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France, it offers a glimpse into the fashionable trends and styles that prevailed during the late 18th century. The image features an elegant couple adorned in exquisite attire. The woman's hat follows the style of Henri IV, while her dress reflects the mode Marguerite. Every detail has been meticulously captured through this enchanting engraving. As we delve into this piece further, we are transported to an era where love and seduction were intertwined with fashion. The male figure exudes charm and romance as he gazes at his female companion with adoration. Their connection is palpable even through this static representation. This fashion plate not only serves as a visual delight but also provides valuable insights into historical fashion trends and societal norms of that period. It reminds us that clothing has always played a significant role in self-expression and identity throughout history. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we can now appreciate this remarkable artwork without any copyright restrictions. Let us cherish these glimpses into our past and celebrate the artistry behind each stroke of Watteau's brush or etching tool
