“This is a clear example of the love for reinterpreting the 18th-century aesthetic which prevailed in the Belle Époque, evoking the grandeur and romanticism of the period. This evening dress bodice precisely references the fine embroidered men’s waistcoats of the period, but with very delicate and feminine motifs evoking the style of Rococo weaver Philippe de Lasalle (1723-1804).”

This painting is interesting because it is not done in the intricately detailed stylings of most of the oil paintings in recent history. Slightly more abstracted and flat and does not show a lot of movement. Common people were idealized in the Romantic Era.
