Elegantia, of tijdschrift van mode, luxe en smaak voor dames, Februari 1807, No. 5 : Coeffure et Robe Parées... 1807

This anonymous fashion plate, from the Dutch magazine "Elegantia," depicts a woman in a fashionable white gown with a fur stole and elaborate bows adorning the bodice and hem. The illustration, which is a key example of early 19th-century fashion, reflects the Empire style popularized by the French Empress Josephine, with its emphasis on simple lines and high-waisted silhouettes. The image, dating back to 1807, is a window into the sartorial aspirations of the time, offering insights into the trends of the era. The image can be found at the Rijksmuseum.
