EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite copperplate etching by Auguste Etienne Guillaumot, titled 'Dame en belle matineuse avec robe et jupon blancs garnis' (A Woman Dressing for the Morning in White Robe and Petticoat), depicts a fashionable woman of the Marie Antoinette era engaging in her morning routine. The image is derived from an original illustration by Francois Louis Joseph Watteau from the 'Gallerie des Modes et Costumes Francais' (Gallery of Fashion and Costumes of France), published between 1778 and 1787. The woman is shown seated in a luxurious setting, with a toy dog at her feet and a muff in her left hand. She wears a bathing cap under her hat, which is adorned with a wide straw brim and ribbons. Her morning dress consists of a white robe and petticoat, both draped elegantly and secured with ribbons. The robe is open at the front, revealing a petticoat with intricate designs. The etching, which is part of the 'Costumes et coiffures du XVIIIe siecle' (Costumes and Hairstyles of the 18th Century) series, showcases the opulence and refinement of the French aristocracy during the late 1700s. The attention to detail in the woman's attire, the accessories, and the setting is a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship of the time. The use of copperplate etching technique adds to the intricacy and depth of the image, making it a valuable historical document and a beautiful work of art.
