EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite copperplate etching by Auguste Etienne Guillaumot, titled 'Fashionable woman with toy dog, era of Marie Antoinette,' transports us back to the opulent and elegant world of the late 18th century. The fashionable woman depicted in the print is dressed in the height of French fashion, her robe à la Polonaise, or detachable skirt, adorned with intricate drapes and a matching petticoat. Her robe unie, or one-piece gown, is accentuated by a buckle on the waistline, adding a touch of sophistication to her ensemble. The woman's hairstyle, a popular choice during the reign of Marie Antoinette, is equally impressive. Her hair is styled in an elaborate coiffure, adorned with a rose and a fan, adding a feminine and refined touch to her appearance. Her shoes, with their delicate buckles and pointed toes, complete the look of this fashionable woman. But the true star of this print is the woman's toy dog, a coqueluche or lapdog, nestled in the folds of her skirt. The small dog, with its large, expressive eyes and fluffy coat, adds a playful and endearing touch to the otherwise formal image. This beautiful print is an original illustration from Francois Louis Joseph Watteau's 'Costumes et coiffures du XVIIIe siecle,' or 'Costumes and hairstyles of the 18th century.' The print was published in Cagnon, Paris, in 1875, making it a valuable historical document of the fashion trends of the time. The intricate details of the woman's outfit, the elegant design of her hairstyle, and the charming presence of her toy dog make this print a true masterpiece of 18th-century fashion and culture.
