EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite copperplate etching by Auguste Etienne Guillaumot, titled "L'Innocente Curieuse se piquant aux epines de la rose" (The Innocent and Curious Girl Picking Roses), captures the essence of fashion during the era of Marie Antoinette. The woman in the image is elegantly dressed in the height of 18th-century style, with a voluminous draped skirt over a petticoat, a bonnet adorned with ribbons and flowers, and a posy of roses in hand. Her refined attire is complemented by the fashionable man, a dandy, who can be seen in the background, wearing a striped coat, a tricorn hat, and carrying a cane and monocle. The original illustration for this print was created by Francois Louis Joseph Watteau for the "Gallerie des Modes et Costumes Francais" (Gallery of French Fashions and Costumes) in the late 18th century. The intricate details of the clothing, accessories, and hairstyles are beautifully rendered in this etching, providing a glimpse into the opulent and sophisticated world of the French aristocracy during the time of Marie Antoinette. The delicate touch of the artist, combined with the rich detail of the copperplate process, results in an image that is both timeless and captivating.
