EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite copperplate etching by Auguste Etienne Guillaumot, titled "Fashionable woman with fan, era of Marie Antoinette," offers a captivating glimpse into the opulent and elegant world of 18th century French fashion. The image, originally illustrated by Francois Louis Joseph Watteau from the "Gallerie des Modes et Costumes Francais," showcases a fashionable woman of the time, adorned in the height of French style. The woman is depicted wearing a hooped dress, a popular fashion trend during the late 1700s. The voluminous skirt is accentuated by a thin, corseted waist, creating an hourglass silhouette. The dress is adorned with intricate floral patterns and delicate lace, adding to its ornate beauty. The woman's bonnet, perched atop her head, is a masterpiece in its own right. The tall, conical shape is adorned with a profusion of ringlets cascading down the sides, adding a playful and feminine touch to the otherwise formal attire. The woman holds a fan in her left hand, a fashionable accessory of the time used to keep cool in the warm summer months. The fan is intricately decorated with feathers, pearls, and other luxurious materials, reflecting the woman's wealth and status. The meticulous detail and attention to historical accuracy in this etching make it a valuable addition to any collection of 18th century fashion. The image transports us back in time, allowing us to revel in the elegance and sophistication of the era of Marie Antoinette.
