Grande robe de cour is a 1788 unspecified by Augustin de Saint-Aubin, a Rococo painting work, depicting Gauze, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This drawing shows a woman in a huge, fancy dress. The gown is layered with lots of white ruffles and gold trim. Her sleeves are puffy, and she wears a big wig with curls. The colors are mostly pale yellow, white, and gold. The text at the bottom calls it a "Grande robe de cour," which means a big court dress. The artist used watercolor to make the soft, light look. Look up watercolor to see how artists mix paint and water for this effect.
Augustin de Saint-Aubin sometimes styled Auguste de Saint-Aubin (3 January 1736 – 9 November 1807), belongs to an important dynasty of French designers and engravers.
