Description: | This lady's dress and haircut suggests that she was probably portrayed about 1820-1830. After the very light dresses worn during the Empire, fashion changed towards 'heavier', larger clothing, especially for the bourgeoises. This reflected the upturn in business and the improvement of the standards of living. The lady's waist is lower than it was on Empire-style dresses, whilst her bonnet, covering her ears, is rather tame compared to some other ladies' hats which were often embellished with multicoloured ribbons and feathers. | Subjects: | portrait | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: French School Æ Attributed to | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8940... | Go to resource |
