Original Description
The 18th-century French engraving Young Woman having her hair styled by Pierre Thomas Le Clerc captures an intimate moment of aristocratic leisure with Rococo elegance. Created during Louis XV’s reign, the work exemplifies the period’s fascination with refined domesticity and fashion—subjects Le Clerc often depicted in his genre scenes. The delicate linework and soft shading highlight the conspiratorial air between the coiffeur and her subject, while sumptuous textiles and elaborate hairstyles reflect the excesses of pre-Revolutionary France. As part of a larger series documenting contemporary hairstyling techniques, this piece offers rare sociological insight into beauty rituals of the elite, bridging documentary precision and decorative charm. Though less celebrated than Watteau or Fragonard, Le Clerc’s engravings remain vital records of transitional Rococo styles before Neoclassicism’s rise.
For a chic interior, this print would elevate a dressing area or salon-style office with its whisper of old-world glamour. Opt for a gilded frame (no wider than 3 inches) to complement the work’s etched gold accents, and hang it against dusky blue or pale gray walls to intensify its warm sepia tones. At roughly 12x16 inches after framing, it pairs well with curved-leg consoles or vintage vanities—avoid stark modern furniture to preserve its historical context. Group it with botanical sketches or smaller Rococo cameos for a curated gallery wall, allowing 4-6 inches between pieces. In lighting, use directional spotlights to emulate candlelit radiance, but keep UV-filtered glass to prevent fading. The scene’s playful intimacy makes it ideal for spaces where grooming and conversation intertwine, like boudoirs or reception lounges.
