About the Item

Que lui conte-t-il? is a hand-watercolored etching on paper realized in 1800 by the French artist Louis-Philibert Debucourt (1755-1832). This is an original illustration (plate n. 29) published in the VIII year. From a suite of 52 plates titled"Modes et Manières du Jour à Paris à la fin du 18e siècle et au commencement du 19e siècle". On the top the inscription: Modes &c. N° 29." ; "Flor. An 8" ; under the engraved image "Que lui conte-t-il ? / (Chapeau en Coquille..... Large Pantalon de Nankin.)". Describing the women’s fashion of the time, our specimen is in excellent condition and with vivid colors, except for a light foxing and a usual yellowing of the paper at the edge.
