Woman in the fashions of 1798. She wears a Primerose-style hat tied with a checkered fichu. Her dress has laced sleeves, and her pocket-less apron is in check taffeta. She holds a fan and kerchief. The hat may be inspired by costume of a Provencale peasant played by Madame St. Aubin in Nicolas Dalayrac’s opera Primerose which debuted in 1798. Chapeau a la primerose. Manches lassees. Tablier sans poches de taffetas quadrille. Handcoloured copperplate engraving from Pierre de la Mesangere’s Journal des Modes et Dames, Paris, 1798. The illustrations in volume 1 were by Carle Vernet, Claude Louis
