This 1830 fashion plate, titled "Petit Courrier des Dames," depicts two women showcasing the latest Parisian styles. The woman on the left wears a white dress with a green sash and elaborate, feathered headdress. Her dress features a unique detail with a fringe of beads and a design of green leaves that emphasizes the delicate femininity of the era. The woman on the right, seated on a plush stool, is wearing a pink dress with a similar, but slightly simpler, feathered headdress and a lace collar. This fashion plate provides a glimpse into the world of 19th-century fashion, showcasing the meticulous detail and elegance that defined high society in the time period. It was published in the *Petit Courrier des Dames,* a popular journal of the time, and the image is housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
