Petrovich Argunov (Russian, 1729-1802) • Portrait Of Ekaterina Alexandrovna Lobanova-RostovskayaIvan • 1754

Detail

The Resplendent Outfit: The outrageous, extravagant, sometimes humorous, and often exquisite outfits worn by the subjects of old portraits.

This dress looks maybe thirty years behind the times with the notched, and possibly cuffed, sleeves and matching neckline of her criss-cross bodice. From Grand Ladies.

Is that pattern made of velvet brocade? Gorgeous.
