A Parisian woman getting dressed in the Chinese style
A Parisian woman getting dressed in the Chinese style. Our artist has turned three magots (grotesque porcelain figures) into makeup artists eager to transform a beautiful Parisienne into a Chinese beauty. One plays with her hair, another helps her put on a pair of slippers, and a third shows a tunic with bells. Handcoloured engraving from Pierre de la Mesangere's Le Bon Genre, Paris, 1817.
