This remarkable engraving from the 18th century created by Thomas Jefferys is a great example of how Spanish aristocrats used to dress. This particular piece belonged to his collection of prints called A Collection of the Dresses of Different Nations, in which the artist depicted the "Habit of a Spanish Lady of Quality." It features an image of a dress with a characteristic silhouette worn at the Spanish court.This plate represents the evolution of Spanish fashion from austere clothes towards French fashion.
