EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite copperplate etching by Auguste Etienne Guillaumot, titled "Costumes et coiffures du XVIIIe siecle" or "Costumes and hairstyles of the 18th century," showcases a fashionable woman of high society during the era of Marie Antoinette. Dressed in the latest trends, she dons a Dorothy hat adorned with a delicate ribbon and feathers, which was a popular choice among the French aristocracy. Her attire consists of a caraco jacket, a long-sleeved coat with a fitted waist, worn over full petticoats. In her hand, she holds a bouquet of flowers, adding to the idyllic scene. The young man accompanying her is a dandy or fop, identified by his oval-shaped hat, striped waistcoat, and hose. His fashionable attire and elegant posture reflect the refined taste and opulence of the time. The woman's graceful pose, along with the tranquil atmosphere of the Champs-Élysées, evoke a sense of leisure and enjoyment of the finer things in life. The original illustration for this etching was created by François Louis Joseph Watteau, a renowned artist from the Gallerie des Modes et Costumes Francais, which was a popular publication during the late 18th century. The meticulous details and intricate designs in this etching serve as a testament to the artistic and fashionable sensibilities of the time, offering a glimpse into the world of the French aristocracy during the reign of Marie Antoinette.
