Hand-coloured engraving showing two women in day dresses braiding the hair of a little girl in a garden. The girl stands in the middle, in a pink dress trimmed with black ribbons over a white blouse. Her hair is in two braids, one of which is being done by a woman sitting to the left wearing a white dress with blue and white fringe and wide bands of blue and white ornament, her own hair braided around her head and tied with a black ribbon. They are observed by a standing woman to the right in a green flounced dress with a black, lace trimmed mantle and white bonnet with flower trimming. In the background, a rustic summer-house with a thatched roof can be seen.

Object history | This print is part of a very large collection of reference material including fashion plates, engravings, original drawings and illustrations that were collected by the fashion design house of Paquin at the turn of the 19th/20th centuries. Many bear the stamp of Paquin's archivist at the time. They were acquired by the V&A in 1957 when, following the closure of the combined houses of Paquin and Worth, the Worth/Paquin archives and design books were donated to the Museum. |
