EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite pochoir (stencil) etching captures the elegance and sophistication of a man in evening attire from the Belle Époque era. The man is dressed in a habit de soirée, or evening suit, complete with a white pique waistcoat and silk gaiters. His white bowtie adds a touch of refinement to the ensemble. The woman accompanying him is equally stunning in her velvet sheath dress with a pearl belt and a crepe blouse. Her embroidered fourreau (a type of sash) and emerald brooch add a pop of color to her monochromatic outfit. The intricate details of this fashion plate, published in Tommaso Antongini's Journal des Dames et des Modes in 1914, are a testament to the art deco aesthetic of the time. The use of hand-colouring adds depth and texture to the image, making it a true work of art. The man's outfit is reminiscent of the costumes worn during the ballets russes, which were all the rage in Parisian society during the early 20th century. The orientalist influences of the time are also evident in the intricate patterns and textures of the man's waistcoat and the woman's dress. This image is a beautiful example of the chic fashion trends of the time, and the attention to detail in the etching makes it a must-have for any fashion or art deco enthusiast's collection.
