This 18th-century engraving, "Habillemens à la Mode:," depicts a woman in fashionable dress, likely a copy after an original work by L'aimeable Céphis. The woman is shown in profile, her elaborate hairdo and dress showcasing the trends of the era. The work's fine detail and precise lines are characteristic of the engraving technique, which was popular for disseminating fashion illustrations and social commentary. The Rijksmuseum houses this small but significant artwork, a testament to the enduring influence of fashion on art.
