EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured lithograph depicts a woman adorned in the elegant and extravagant "Coiffure a la Therese," named after Princess Maria Teresa of Savoy-Carignan. The Coiffure a la Therese, a popular hairstyle during the era of King Louis XVI, features a large hood ornamented with intricate floral designs and ribbons, draped over a bonnet. The woman's regal posture and refined expression convey the opulence and sophistication of the late 18th century. The hairstyle, expertly rendered in this lithograph by de Laubadere for Octave Uzanne's "Stylish Hairstyles or Eccentric Finery," was a symbol of wealth and status during the Ancien Régime. The intricate design of the hood required the assistance of skilled hairdressers and hours of preparation, making it a true luxury item. Princess Maria Teresa of Savoy-Carignan (1722-1775) was a member of the House of Savoy, one of the oldest European royal houses. She was known for her beauty and her extravagant taste, making her an appropriate namesake for this elaborate hairstyle. This beautiful and intricately detailed print, published in Paris in 1895 by Rouveyre, offers a glimpse into the opulent world of the French aristocracy during the late 18th century. The use of handcolouring adds depth and richness to the image, bringing the woman's elaborate coiffure to life and transporting us back in time.
