Description: These exquisite French courtly costume lithographs, created by Pauquet Frères after the works of renowned artists such as C.N. Cochin, Dronais, and Moreau, offer a unique glimpse into the luxurious fashion and refined elegance of the 18th century. Dating from the years 1745, 1770, and 1783, each lithograph masterfully captures the elaborate details of aristocratic attire, presenting a fascinating historical perspective on the grandeur of the French court during the reigns of Louis XV and Louis XVI.
The prints are particularly remarkable for their finely rendered details and vibrant hand-coloring, which bring to life the opulent textures and elaborate embellishments typical of noble attire. From the swirling ruffles of the women’s gowns to the elaborate embroidery of the men’s coats, each lithograph demonstrates the expert craftsmanship and artistic skill of the Pauquet Frères. Their meticulous technique and the authenticity of these representations make these lithographs not only decorative pieces but also valuable historical documents.
For collectors and interior decorators, these prints offer an engaging window into the past, evoking the refined elegance and cultural sophistication of the 18th-century French aristocracy.
