Habit de Ville print in Samuel Pepys' collection

Caption

Jean Dieu de Saint-Jean, Habit de Ville, etching, c. 1670. A print in Samuel Pepys' collection depicting a fashionable city gown. Someone has coloured the embroidered silk pattern with amateurish squiggly lines. Marlo Avidon suggests that this print could have been coloured by Mary Skinner.
