Figures à la Mode
Romeyn de Hooghe (1645-1708), etchings, engravings, four from a series of twelve, c. 1670-1685
From the middle of the 17th century fashionable men wore ‘rhinegraves’, extremely full breeches decorated with an ‘apron’ of braids under long fitted coats. The long curly hair, high-heeled shoes, large bands and profusion of buttons and bows amazed many contemporaries. The men in this series by De Hooghe almost seem to succumb to their garments.
