The woman in the foreground dons a traditional white dress, accessorized with a tall, ornate Bavolet bonnet adorned with intricate lace tails. The bonnet, a symbol of Alsatian heritage, was renowned for its sophistication and elegance. The woman's outfit is completed with a shawl draped over her shoulders, adding a touch of warmth and sophistication to her ensemble. The illustration, engraved by Louis-Marie Lante, captures the essence of a harvest festival in an orchard, with the woman surrounded by the bounty of the season.

This fashion plate illustration provides a glimpse into the past, offering a window into the history and traditions of rural France during the 19th century. The intricate details of the illustration, from the delicate lacework on the bonnet to the folds of the woman's dress, are brought to life through the skillful use of handcoloring.
