Ruffles & Ribbons: The Selection Process

Join Yifu Liu, Anne L. Poulet Curatorial Fellow, in the reading room of the Frick Art Research Library to learn how he selected twenty-four hand-colored engravings from a collection of 370 to display on the walls of the special exhibition “Ruffles & Ribbons: Fashion Plates from the Time of Marie Antoinette.”

His selection reveals fascinating aspects of French daily life, culture, and colonial history during the ancien régime. See the works up close through August 3 in the Frick’s Cabinet Gallery.
