A fine copy.
A collection of eight plates of costumes designed by Vivant Denon, etched in black and coloured in watercolour, some with gold highlights.
Costume designs for representatives of the people commissioned by the Committee of Public Safety in 1794. The painter David produced the preparatory studies, which were executed, engraved and printed by Denon.
Full-length portraits, dressed in civilian and military costumes, depicted alone or with a few elements of scenery. These uniforms were ultimately never adopted.
19th-century print, limited to 100 copies; this one is no. 45.
