An absolutely gorgeous copperplate engraving dating back to 1768, created by Thomas Jefferys, showing in great detail the elegance of fashion worn by the wife of a citizen of Florence. This work is a valuable historical artifact illustrating the evolution of costume styles in Europe during the 18th century, when the extravagance of the Baroque period gave way to the elegance of the Enlightenment period. The beautiful fine lines of the engraving depict the lace and the weightiness of fabrics typical of Italy.
