EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite copperplate etching by Auguste Etienne Guillaumot, titled "Petite Maitresse en robe lilas tendre garnie de gaze à la promenade au Palais Royal," transports us back to the opulent era of Marie Antoinette. The image, taken from the renowned "Costumes et coiffures du XVIIIe siècle" publication by Cagnon in Paris, 1875, is an original illustration by Pierre Thomas Le Clerc from the "Gallerie des Modes et Costumes Francais," published between 1778 and 1787. The woman in the print, dressed in a delicate lilac gown, epitomizes the fashionable style of the late 18th century. Her elegant attire, adorned with intricate lace and gauze detailing, is a testament to the refined taste and extravagance of the French court during this period. The woman's hairstyle, characterized by a high, voluminous updo and delicate curls framing her face, is a quintessential representation of the Langlaise style popularized during Marie Antoinette's reign. As she strolls through the Palais Royal, the woman in the print appears to be enjoying a moment of leisure, perhaps sipping on a cup of coffee from a nearby café. The English title of the print, "A Fashionable Lady in a Lilac Dress," further emphasizes the international influence and popularity of French fashion during this time. This etching offers a glimpse into the elegance and sophistication of the past, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and artistry of the 18th century.
