Abstract
This plate depicts two well-dressed women fanning themselves in a large public garden. The woman in yellow wears a typically aristocratic hat (more popular before the French Revolution.) It is high and adorned with a large silk ribbon. The woman in the pink and white dress wears a cotton turban, which was a style very popular in the late 18th century. Simpler hats were more popular at the end of the 18th century because they were supposed to be more 'democratic' than other more elitist fashions. Both women wear classical style dresses, modeled after robes of ancient Greece. These are also adorned with pastel colored ribbons. Pastel colors became more popular after the Revolution and were thought to look more 'natural.' These dresses both show a good deal more of the woman's bodies than previous styles, as demonstrated by the low cut neckline, revealing the décolletage.
