La Parure des Dames, Plate 11

Eleventh plate of a set of 10 plates of men's and women's coiffures, containing four designs for women's coiffures. The hairstyles are presented inside four simple, rectangular frames, each containing an illustration of the upper body of a woman, wearing a fashionable dress of the 1770s, and matching hairstyles. The first hairstyle, for brides, is made up of a light blue bonnet with strips of white, ruffled fabric, strips of small, white pearls, and strips of green laurel leaves, decorated on top with a bundle of large feathers, one purple and one blue, flowers, colored with purple and orange, and green leaves, and a pink ribbon that hangs under the bonnet above the woman's hair, decorated with a small, jeweled aigrette brooch. The second hairstyle consists of a light blue bonnet with ruffled edges, decorated with purple and green ribbons, rosettes made up of small, white pearls, a thin festoon of green leaves and small flowers, colored with purple, orange, yellow and blue, and a bundle of large feathers of matching colors. The third hairstyle consists of a light blue bonnet with ruffled borders, decorated with a white ribbon with yellow, green and red dots, interlaced by strips of small, white pearls, and decorated in the front with a jeweled aigrette brooch with pearls and a red rose with green flowers. The final coiffure consists of a white bonnet with light blue stripes, decorated with purple ribbons and a bundle of large feathers, colored with purple, green, yellow, orange, and blue, and with large, jeweled brooches with pearls and gemstones.
