This handsome print belongs to the Figures de Mode, a series of seven etchings by Jean-Antoine Watteau of fashionable ladies and gentlemen. The fancy costumes and elaborate backdrops of park settings or distant landscapes showcased in this series aid in the documentation of theatrical history as well as 18th-century French fashion.
