"Young Lady in a Circassienne" is an 18th-century painting by French artist Claude Louis Desrais (1746–1816), known for his detailed and fashionable costume studies. The painting depicts a young woman dressed in a 'Circassienne', a type of women's garment popular in France during the latter half of the 18th century. The term 'Circassienne' refers to a style inspired by the clothing of the Circassian people, a group from the Caucasus region, which was romanticized and exoticized in European fashion at the time.

The artwork is a quintessential example of Desrais's focus on contemporary fashion and the social customs of the French elite prior to the French Revolution. Desrais, who was a student of the renowned François Boucher, is noted for his genre scenes and illustrations that often served as a visual documentation of the period's attire. "Young Lady in a Circassienne" is characterized by its attention to the intricate details of the fabric, patterns, and the overall silhouette of the dress, which typically featured a fitted bodice, an open-fronted overskirt, and a wide sash around the waist.

The painting not only showcases Desrais's skill as a portraitist but also serves as a historical record of the fashion trends and cultural fascinations of the time. The young lady's pose and attire reflect the societal norms and expectations of femininity and elegance in the pre-revolutionary French aristocracy. As with many of Desrais's works, the painting provides valuable insights into the daily life and fashion of the 18th century, making it an important piece for both art historians and fashion scholars.

"Young Lady in a Circassienne" remains an important work for understanding the intersection of art, fashion, and culture during a significant period in French history. The painting is a testament to the artist's ability to capture the zeitgeist of his era through the medium of portraiture, and it continues to be studied and appreciated for its aesthetic qualities and historical significance.
