This 1807 fashion plate, from the Dutch magazine *Elegantia*, depicts a woman in a stylish ensemble. The engraved illustration showcases a white velvet capote (a type of cloak) worn over a bonnet trimmed with tulle, and a pink shawl. The woman is depicted in a simple pose, highlighting the elegant lines of the garments, common in fashion plates of the era. This print serves as a historical document capturing the sartorial trends of early 19th-century Europe. *Elegantia* provided its readers with insights into the latest fashion trends and served as a guide to dressing stylishly. The print can be viewed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
