Lounge wear in the boudoir (IMAGE)
Caption
Antoine Trouvain, Femme de qualité en deshabille negligé, etching, 1695. A print in Samuel Pepys' collection which looks more professionally coloured.
The print depicts an elite French woman wearing informal lounge wear. She appears to be in the process of getting ready in her boudoir. She holds a necklace and wears a headdress made from stiffened lace, and a luxurious night gown insired by Asian textiles.
