This fashion plate, created by Nicolas Dupin in 1782, showcases a woman in a "Deshabille à l'Anglaise" (English-style negligee). The illustration depicts a woman in a flowing purple gown with a white underskirt and a matching hat. The dress features lace trim and is accessorized with a delicate necklace and a brooch. This artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, provides insight into the fashion trends of the late 18th century, particularly the influence of English styles on French fashion. Dupin, known for his meticulous attention to detail, captures the elegant simplicity of the English-inspired dress and the elaborate hairstyle, revealing the evolving sartorial preferences of the era.
