La Né d'une Modiste, 1828 : Chap. XI: Il ne vient point ? c. 1828

"La Né d'une Modiste, 1828: Chap. XI: Il ne vient point?" is a hand-colored lithograph by Gottfried Engelmann from c. 1828, depicting a woman in a fashionable purple dress, waiting expectantly on a staircase. This print, which is part of a larger series, exemplifies the style of fashion illustration popular in the 19th century. Engelmann's work, which was commissioned by the publisher, is an engaging snapshot of the contemporary trends in women's clothing, particularly in the Parisian world of fashion. This work is now in the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
