Beautiful gilt trim

This is a very fine and elegant drawing by a French architect from the North of France who was studying in Italy in the 1880s.
Désiré Auguste Ghesquier was an architect and watercolorist from Lille. A student of Vandenbergh and Canissié, he worked with the architect Gustave Jouay and was a certified expert architect for the Nord department.
Between 1883 and 1887, he was a resident of the Atelier Wicar in Italy. It was there that he created beautiful watercolors of monuments in Rome (ceiling of the Villa of Pope Julius II, plan and elevation of the churches of Saint Lawrence and Saint John Lateran) and elsewhere in Italy (Church of Santa Croce in Florence (monument to Marsuppini, plan and elevation), monument to Archbishop Guidobaldo in Messina, view of the ruins of Pompeii).
Here he has elegantly depicted a young Italian woman from behind, with beautiful colors and a very architectural design of the dress!
