Painter Jean-Antoine Watteau was baptised #OnThisDay in 1684. The box pleats which are a feature of the robe à la française are sometimes called Watteau pleats. This c. 1775 pink, floral silk taffeta brocaded court dress with Watteau pleats is from the MFA Boston collection. #fashionhistory

'In the black furrow of a field
I saw an old witch-hare this night
And she cocked a lissome ear,
And she eyed the moon so bright'
