This fashion plate, created anonymously in 1807, is a depiction of a woman wearing a "Capote de Velours," a fashionable velvet cloak, and a "shwal Boiteux," a type of shawl. The image is a fine example of fashion illustration from the early 19th century, characterized by detailed representations of clothing and accessories. The delicate lines and colors used by the artist highlight the elegance and sophistication of the garments, reflecting the evolving styles of the era. The print is a valuable historical document offering insights into the fashion trends of the time, and is held at the Rijksmuseum in the Netherlands.
