Antique Costume Print Grecian Lady Morning Dress Jefferys 1749
This graceful engraving shows a Grecian lady in morning dress, illustrating everyday attire in 18th-century interpretations of Greek life. Published by Thomas Jefferys in London in 1749, it forms part of a celebrated costume series.
The figure is depicted in flowing garments with warm orange tones and delicate drapery. The relaxed stance and elegant hand coloring give the composition a sense of movement and refinement.
These prints were widely collected for their aesthetic beauty and ethnographic curiosity.
