Description: | This lady's attire looks very much like the dresses worn by the Marquise de Pompadour around 1760. The dress is certainly not as richly embellished as the Marquise's, but its general shape, with the large bow at the front, another around the neck and a low-neck lace shirt is definitely that of elegant court dresses of the time. Her hairstyle remains rather simple, her hair powdered with starch. It was not yet the fashion for elevated hairpieces and elaborate bonnets which were worn slightly later, mostly in the 1770s. | Subjects: | portrait | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: French School Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8927... | Go to resource |
