This 1809 fashion plate from the Dutch periodical *Elegantia* depicts a woman wearing a fashionable "redingote" - a long, fitted coat - of Livantine fabric, which was popular for its sheen and durability. The garment is richly decorated with a patterned trim. The detailed illustration offers a glimpse into the fashionable trends of the early 19th century, highlighting the elegance and sophistication of women's attire during this era. *Elegantia* was a prominent magazine that catered to women's fashion, luxury, and taste, and this print provides a valuable record of its content.
