Gallerie des Modes et Costumes Français, 1785, nr. 14, nr. 27, Kopie naar J 53 : Bourgeoise élégante se promenant (...) c. 1785

This hand-colored etching by Pierre Gleich depicts an elegantly dressed woman in 18th-century French fashion. Titled "Bourgeoise élégante se promenant à la Campagne," the artwork captures a moment of leisure, as the woman strolls through the countryside. Her elaborate gown, with its ruffled skirt and layers of fabric, embodies the extravagance of the era. The woman's large, elaborate hat, adorned with flowers and feathers, further exemplifies the fashion trends of the time. The artwork serves as a valuable historical document, offering insight into the clothing and lifestyles of the French bourgeoisie during the late 18th century.
