Marie-Antoinette with Uncolored (!!!) Hair by François Dumond There’s no date, but I’d say this is late 1770s, especially because she looks so young; it could also be early 1780s (zone fronts were popular in this period). Wasn’t she beautiful? I love her delicately arched eyebrows.

Gallerie des Modes 1780, a young nurse-maid in a long dress with apron and bonnet. Gotta love the child on a lease circa 1780s.

Victoire Louise Marie Thérèse de France (Madame Victoire) by Adélaïde Labille-Guiard, 1788 Stunning purple! What a delicious robe à la française. I also just realized that there is a fleur de lis in the upper left corner, and I can’t tell if that is painted on or if it was somehow added by someone on the internet.. I’ve never seen a symbol like that in the corner of a portrait, but it would make sense as the fleur de lis is the symbol of the ancien régime (and Mdm Victoire is the daughter of King Louis XV)!

Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier and His Wife (Marie-Anne-Pierrette Paulze) by Jacques-Louis David, 1788 This is a flawless chemise dress - even if it was painted by David…

Portrait of a Lady with a Book, Next to a River Source, by Antoine Vestier, 1785 I just can’t resist the sheer stripey silk goodness of her gown. Brilliant.

Louise Augusta, Princess of Denmark, by Jens Juel, 1784 A favorite because the colors and fabrics of her gown are just like candy.
