Gown with a diamond-shaped back panel

anoniem, c. 1790 - c. 1810

At the end of the 18th century a new dye came onto the European market, namely an extract from the bark of the American black oak. This made it easier and cheaper to dye fabrics yellow. This colour consequently became fashionable in Paris. It also remained popular in the Netherlands until the early 19th century.
