This is a fashion plate from the Dutch publication "Kabinet van mode en smaak," which translates to "Cabinet of Fashion and Taste." The anonymous artist's 1791 illustration depicts a fashionable couple in the attire of the period. The woman wears a green gown with a white collar and a patterned scarf around her waist. Her head is adorned with a large, elaborate hat. The man is dressed in a blue frock coat with a patterned waistcoat, white trousers, and a black top hat. Fashion plates like this were popular in the late 18th century, serving as guides to the latest trends in fashion.
