37th plate of album with 60 19th-century costume plates and 1 drawing of mostly women's historical costumes, featuring a variety of designs for traditional costumes from different parts of the world, as well as costumes for literary characters, including Esmeralda. This plate consists of a woman wearing a costume for a female Arlequin, made up of a taille with seamless patterns of triangles executed in red, yellow, green and blue, outlined with gold, with ruffled short sleeves and neck, and a layered white skirt with a strip of triangles matching those in the taille. She wears a brown hat over her black hair, three necklaces of small, red beands and matching bracelets over white gloves. Her legs are covered with white socks with thin, blue and red horizontal stripes, and her feet are shot with white low heels.
