EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite copperplate etching, titled "La Nymphe Galante au Palais Royal" by Auguste Etienne Guillaumot, showcases a woman of the late 18th century, elegantly dressed in the style of Marie Antoinette. The woman is depicted wearing a voluminous English-style hooped dress, adorned with intricate stripes and petticoats, creating an illusion of grandeur and opulence. Her parasol, with its delicate floral design, adds an element of sophistication and protection from the sun. The woman's bonnet, adorned with a bow and ringlets cascading down her back, completes the fashionable look of the era. The etching, originally published in "Costumes et coiffures du XVIIIe siecle" by Cagnon, Paris, 1875, is a reproduction of an original illustration by Pierre Thomas Le Clerc from the "Gallerie des Modes et Costumes Francais," published between 1778 and 1787. Marie Antoinette, the last queen of France before the Revolution, was known for her extravagant and fashionable attire. Her influence on fashion during this period was significant, with hooped dresses and elaborate hairstyles becoming symbols of wealth and status. This etching captures the essence of this era, offering a glimpse into the world of French aristocracy and their love for fashion during the late 18th century.
