This engraving, part of the series "Gallerie des Modes et Costumes Français," depicts a young woman in fashionable attire from 1778. Created by Etienne Claude Voysard, a prominent artist of the period, the print showcases the intricate details of 18th-century French dress. The woman, identified as a "jeune bourgeoise," wears a "Polonaise" gown, a popular style with a fitted bodice and a flowing skirt, and a large, elaborate hairpiece. The engraving, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the evolving world of fashion during the late 18th century.
