EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored pochoir (stencil) etching captures the essence of early 20th century French seaside fashion, as depicted in Tommaso Antongini's Journal des Dames et des Modes. The image features a stylish woman relaxing on a sandy beach, donning a two-tone taffeta swimming costume and bathing cap. The yellow and franck (a shade of blue) hues of her costume add a playful and vibrant touch to the scene. The woman's outfit is reminiscent of the fashionable swimsuits of the Belle Époque and Art Deco periods, which emphasized elegance and sophistication. Her bathing cap, adorned with a whimsical imp, fairy, and rabbit design, adds a touch of whimsy and fancy to her look. The intricate detailing of the stencil work is evident in the delicate floral patterns on the woman's costume and the impish features of the imp and fairy embellishments. The influence of Orientalism and the Ballets Russes is also evident in the design, with the woman's pose and the exotic motifs on her costume evoking the exotic allure of the East. The Parisian chic of the era is captured in the woman's confident and refined demeanor, as she enjoys a day at the beach in the company of her Marie Madeleine, a small companion dog. This beautiful etching, created by the renowned illustrator Andre Pecoud, is a testament to the rich and diverse fashion culture of the early 20th century. It is a must-have for any collector of vintage fashion, art deco, or Belle Époque art.
