Gallerie des Modes et Costumes Français, 1779, V 124 : Robe à la Levit (...) 1779

This hand-colored engraving by Pierre Adrien Le Beau from 1779, titled "Robe à la Lovide", depicts a fashionable woman in a green gown with a pink sash and a large, elaborate hat adorned with feathers and flowers. The engraving is a prime example of fashion plates from the late 18th century, which captured the styles and trends of the time. The detailed portrayal of the dress, hat, and accessories, along with the accompanying text describing the design, provides valuable insight into the fashion of the era. The engraving, now in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Le Beau's skillful depiction of fine details and the elegance of the period's attire.
