Abstract

The article presents a view of fashion in Brazil in the first decades of the nineteenth century in the light of the work of the French painter Jean-Baptiste Debret. His paintings constitute an iconographic corpus with lithographs made from his watercolors and canvas that would compose the collections of “Picturesque and historic voyage to Brazil”. The costumes portrayed by Debret are analyzed in contrast to the reports of the fashion historians, concluding that the fashion in Brasil in the Johannine Era and the D. Pedro Era followed the European trends of the time, the Empire style and the Romantic style.
