Journal des Dames et des Modes, Costume Parisien, 1805, An 13 (667) Costume Paré. 1805

This fashion plate, created by Horace Vernet in 1805, showcases a Parisian woman's attire. Part of the "Journal des Dames et des Modes," this engraving depicts a woman in a fashionable white dress with a decorative trim, holding a fan. The dress, tied with a ribbon at the waist, reflects the trends of the early 19th century, a time of elegant simplicity and a move away from the elaborate styles of the previous era. The plate, with its fine lines and detail, provides a valuable glimpse into the sartorial preferences of the period.
