Off the top of my head, much earlier than the 18th c. See the Alessandro Alliori frescoes in the Chiusa Sta Maria Nuova, Florence, 1570s and a second group in the 1590s. Another set of his frescos showing a gal putting up her hair, in the PItti Palace, are c1588. --cin Cynthia Barnes cinbar...@gmail.com
