EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Lady riding sidesaddle" we are transported back to the elegant world of 18th-century Parisian fashion. The image, published in the renowned Journal des Dames et des Modes in 1798, showcases a beautifully dressed lady gracefully perched on her horse. Dressed in an exquisite habit and adorned with a fashionable hat, she exudes poise and sophistication. Her whip held delicately adds a touch of authority to her demeanor. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of this colored engraving from the French School. The lady's choice to ride sidesaddle reflects the societal norms and expectations of that era when women were expected to maintain their modesty while engaging in equestrian activities. This unique style required great skill and balance, making it both practical and visually striking. The horse itself stands as a symbol of strength and grace, perfectly complementing its rider's elegance. As farm animals go about their business nearby, our focus remains firmly on this enchanting duo - a testament to the timeless allure of horses throughout history. This print serves not only as an artistic representation but also as a window into the past - capturing an era where fashion merged seamlessly with daily life. Preserved within private collections today, it continues to inspire us with its beauty and offers us glimpses into bygone times when ladies rode sidesaddle through the streets of Paris.
