Description: | In the eighteenth century, men from all social backgrounds wore three-piece costumes, composed of a vest, a jacket and breeches down to the knee. The differerences were in the quality of the cloth or the richness of the decorations. This man's costume indicates he must have lived under the reign of Louis XV (1723-1774). The lace collar, richly decorated jacket, as well as the curled wig and the absence of moustache, allow to give this approximate date. | Subjects: | portrait | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: French School Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8935... | Go to resource |
