EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured lithograph depicts a female courtier's costume from the French Napoleonic era, as illustrated in Le Bibliophile Jacob's Historiques de la France. The elaborate dress, adorned with intricate gold and silver embroidery, is a testament to the opulence and grandeur of the French court during this period. The female courtier's ensemble consists of a robe, pardessus, and train. The robe, or outer gown, is a rich, deep blue color and features a high neckline, long sleeves, and a fitted bodice that cinches at the waist. The pardessus, or underdress, is a lighter shade of blue and is visible at the edges of the robe, adding an extra layer of texture and detail. The train, or trailing fabric, is a long, flowing piece that extends from the back of the robe and adds a sense of drama and elegance to the ensemble. The courtier's hairstyle is equally impressive, with her hair styled in an elaborate updo adorned with pearls and feathers. She accessorizes the outfit with a matching blue sash, a pair of white gloves, and a fan. The overall effect is one of refinement, sophistication, and luxury, reflecting the high standards of fashion and style at the French court during the Napoleonic era. This beautiful lithograph, created by Leopold Massard, is a valuable historical record of the fashion trends and cultural traditions of the time. It offers a glimpse into the world of the French court and the elegance and grandeur that defined it during the Napoleonic era.
