Painting Description
"A Lady with an Asiatic hairstyle in a ball dress trimmed with ribbons" is a notable fashion plate from the 'Incroyable et Merveilleuse' series, which captures the essence of post-revolutionary French fashion. Engraved by Georges Jacques Gatine (1773–1831) and published in 1797 in Paris, this work is the fourth plate in a series that reflects the extravagant and often outlandish styles that became popular during the Directoire period of French history. The series was produced under the artistic direction of Carle Vernet, a prominent French painter known for his depictions of horses, military subjects, and the fashionable society of his time.
The fashion plate showcases a woman dressed in a luxurious ball gown adorned with ribbons, exemplifying the era's fascination with elaborate dress and the influence of exotic cultures on European fashion. The 'Asiatic hairstyle' mentioned in the title refers to the trend of incorporating elements perceived as 'Oriental' into fashion and hairstyles, a result of the widespread interest in different cultures during this period. The 'Incroyable et Merveilleuse' series serves as a valuable historical record of the changing tastes and social attitudes of the late 18th century, offering insights into the world of French fashion following the tumultuous years of the French Revolution.
Georges Jacques Gatine's engraving is a testament to the craftsmanship and attention to detail that characterized fashion illustration of the time. The series to which this plate belongs is considered an important cultural artifact, reflecting the intersection of art, fashion, and history at the close of the 18th century. As such, it remains a subject of interest for fashion historians, art enthusiasts, and those studying the cultural dynamics of post-revolutionary France.
