Gallerie des Modes et Costumes Français, 1778, Q 91 : Jeune Dame coeffée en baigneus (...) 1778

This fashion plate, created by Nicolas Dupin in 1778, showcases the elegance of French women's fashion during the late 18th century. Depicting a young woman adorned in a pink satin cloak with a fur trim, the print highlights the elaborate hairstyles, gowns, and accessories of the era. The delicate details, including the intricate lacework, the intricate "falbala" of the dress, and the elaborate headdress with its plumes and ribbons, are beautifully rendered, offering a glimpse into the refined tastes of the time. This piece, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, serves as a valuable historical record of French fashion history.
