EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting 18th century print, titled 'The School of Coquetry,' captures the essence of flirtatious banter between a man and a woman. The image showcases the elaborate fashions of the time, with the woman artfully pulling up her stockings while the man playfully peeks through his hand, attempting to catch a glimpse of her bare leg. The woman's voluminous white wig, adorned with ribbons and curls, frames her face, which is turned coyly away from the man. Her elegant gown, adorned with intricate lace and floral patterns, adds to the allure of the scene. The man, dressed in a fashionable coat and breeches, gazes intently at the woman, his hand shielding his eyes from her gaze. This charming print offers a glimpse into the world of coquetry and flirtation that was a popular pastime during the 18th century. The intricate details of the costumes and the playful interaction between the couple transport us back in time, allowing us to appreciate the artistry and elegance of the past.
