This fashion plate, from the Dutch magazine *Elegantia* in 1808, depicts a woman wearing a white gown with a brocaded silk and wool shawl. The caption beneath the image describes the shawl as "double trimmed" and "folded back". The illustration is a valuable historical resource for understanding the fashion trends of the early 19th century. Fashion plates were a popular form of visual communication in the era, and this example showcases the intricate details and elegance of women's clothing at the time. The image can be found in the Rijksmuseum.
