EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases a woman in an exquisite Harlequin costume and mask, ready to attend a fancy dress ball during the Belle Époque era in Paris. The woman's costume, inspired by the traditional Italian commedia dell'arte character Harlequin, is a vibrant display of color and intricate detail. The canary-yellow tailleur de petit drap, or short dress, is adorned with amber-colored buttons and a collar that matches the mask's elastic strap. The Harlequin's iconic diamond-shaped pattern is subtly incorporated into the design of the dress, adding a playful touch. The woman holds a cane in one hand and wears a hat with a large, feathery plume, adding to the overall elegance and whimsy of the ensemble. Her mask, with its distinctive harlequin pattern and expressive features, completes the transformation into the mischievous and enchanting character. This hand-colored pochoir (stencil) etching, created by Fabius (Alberto Fabio Lorenzi) for Tommaso Antongini's Journal des Dames et des Modes in 1914, is a stunning example of the Art Deco style and the Orientalist influences that were popular during the Belle Époque. The image evokes the glamour and excitement of Parisian high society and the influence of the Ballets Russes on fashion.
