Fille de Qualité en déshabillé d'étoffe Siamoise 1688

"Fille de Qualité en déshabillé d'étoffe Siamoise" is an etching created in 1688 by French artist Nicolas Arnoult. The print depicts a fashionable woman of the time, likely of high standing, in an informal, "déshabillé" style, wearing a gown made of a striped fabric with an elaborate headdress. The title indicates that the fabric is of Siamese origin, suggesting the popularity of exotic materials in the French fashion of the late 17th century. The etching is a fine example of the genre of fashion prints, popular in Europe at this time, used to document contemporary trends and styles. This work is currently part of the Rijksmuseum collection.
