"Incroyable et Merveilleuse in Paris, 1797" is a series of fashion plates created by the French painter and engraver Louis-Léopold Boilly (1761–1845). The series, consisting of 33 prints, was produced in the aftermath of the French Revolution and captures the extravagant fashions and social mores of the Directoire period. The terms "Incroyable" and "Merveilleuse" refer to the fashionably extravagant young men and women of the time, respectively, known for their outlandish dress and behavior.

Boilly, who was renowned for his genre scenes and detailed portraiture, documented the sartorial excesses of the period with both a keen eye for detail and a satirical edge. The prints showcase the narrow-waisted, high-collared dresses and elaborate hairstyles of the Merveilleuses, as well as the exaggeratedly tight trousers and bold striped patterns favored by the Incroyables. These fashion plates not only reflect the styles of the era but also serve as a social commentary on the post-revolutionary French society.

The series is significant for its historical and artistic value, providing insight into the cultural life of Paris in the late 18th century. Boilly's work captures the transition from the austerity of the Revolution to the more frivolous and opulent trends that characterized the Directoire style. "Incroyable et Merveilleuse in Paris, 1797" remains an important resource for fashion historians and art enthusiasts alike, offering a vivid portrayal of the period's fashion and its role in the broader context of French social history.
