Journal des Dames et des Modes, Costume Parisien, 1805, An 13 (621) Coeffure en Jais. Tablier ajusté. 1805

This 1805 fashion plate from the _Journal des Dames et des Modes_ depicts a woman in a simple yet elegant white dress with a pink sash. The gown, with a high-waisted empire line, is trimmed with a dark fringe, possibly jet, emphasizing the slim, columnar silhouette popular in the early 19th century. The woman’s hairstyle, described as "Coiffure en Jais" (Jet Hair), is a sophisticated updo, typical of the period, and she holds a small bouquet of flowers, completing a refined and fashionable ensemble. The print, attributed to Horace Vernet, provides a valuable glimpse into Parisian fashion during the era of Napoleon.
