This print by Etienne Claude Voysard, from the series *Gallerie des Modes et Costumes Français,* depicts a young woman from Lyon wearing a pink dress and a large, elaborate hat. The print was created in 1778, and it is a fine example of 18th-century fashion illustration, capturing the elegant styles of the era. The woman is depicted in a park setting, suggesting a fashionable outdoor event. Her attire, including the frills and ruffles on her dress, reflects the refined taste of the French court, and the print provides valuable insight into the clothing worn by women of status during this period.
