Description: | This unknown young lady wears an Empire-style dress, hat and jewellery. During the reign of Napoleon Ist, the fashion was for Classical-inspired clothing, which provided an evident break from what had been worn before the Revolution. Ladies wore simple light-coloured dresses, very much in contrast with the heavy styles from half a century before. The trend for wigs had completely disappeared; ladies wore their own hair, which was quite often cut short. | Subjects: | portrait | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: French School Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8931... | Go to resource |
