EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite copperplate etching by Auguste Etienne Guillaumot, titled 'Costumes et coiffures du XVIIIe siecle' (Costumes and hairstyles of the 18th century), depicts a fashionable gentleman of the era of Marie Antoinette. Dressed in a stylish coat adorned with vertical stripes, the gentleman pairs his coat with matching breeches and boots. He carries a cane and wears a tall hat with a wide brim, adding to his elegant appearance. The gentleman's attire is further accessorized with a fichu, a fashionable neck scarf, and a giant bonnet rouge, a type of hat popular during this period. In his hand, he holds a cane with an ornate handle, and in the other, a handkerchief. A scent bottle is tucked into the pocket of his coat, a common accessory for the well-groomed gentleman of the time. This image is based on an original illustration by Francois Louis Joseph Watteau from the 'Gallerie des Modes et Costumes Francais' (Gallery of French Fashions and Costumes), published between 1778 and 1787. The meticulous detail and intricate design of the etching provide a glimpse into the opulent and sophisticated fashion trends of the late 18th century. The gentleman's elegant attire and accessories reflect the extravagance and refinement of the era of Marie Antoinette, making this a captivating and intriguing piece of historical art.
