Costigliole 1862-67 Pierre-Louis Pierson French The Countess is shown here dressed in the latest fashion for the winter season of 1862-3. She wears a coatdress of lilac velvet, edged in red velvet cut into dents and a cloak edged with chinchilla. Her white bonnet is tied with red and white double strings, and she holds a chinchilla muff. Her son, Giorgio (1855-1879), is in Scottish dress: a kilt and sash, a white bonnet with a cock's feather, calf-length pantaloons, and tartan socks. This had been the uniform for upper-class boys between the ages of five and eight since 1857 ("Les Modes parisiennes," 14 February 1857).Among society ladies, fashion victims were called cocodettes. The Countess nicknamed her son "the tiger," the name used to describe the pages who accompanied fine ladies in town, acting as a sort of foil to their beauty. This highly successful portrait of mother and son captures a rare moment of tenderness. The Countess sent a similar portrait to her husband and to friend
