Pierre Thomas Le Clerc ou Leclerc

Pierre Thomas Le Clerc made delicate 18th-century watercolors of men’s and women’s fashions, recording the exact cut and trim of coats, waistcoats and robes in minute detail. His brush captured silk surtouts, brandenburgs, and turban-style “robe à la turque,” each piece dated to the late 1770s and early 1780s. Tap into Petit maître en chenille, Habit du matin to see how a morning coat could still look playful with its raised collar and fur trim.
