About this sheet

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.

Framing tips: A darker frame with a neutral mat enhances the warmth of the palette and adds sophistication.

Special note: This is an original 18th-century engraving, not a reproduction. The print is sold unframed; any framed images are shown for presentation and interior inspiration only and may not always be on scale with the original.
