EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite copperplate etching, created by Auguste Etienne Guillaumot in 1875, is an enchanting depiction of a woman from the era of Marie Antoinette, dressed in the height of 18th century fashion. 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 French), published between 1778 and 1787. The woman in the print is adorned with an elaborate hairstyle featuring voluminous ringlets cascading down her back, a style that was highly popular during the late 18th century. Her large bonnet, adorned with delicate ribbons and flowers, sits atop her head, completing the elegant and fashionable look of the time. The intricate details of her attire, from the delicate lace collars to the voluminous skirts and petticoats, are beautifully captured in the etching. The use of copperplate etching technique allowed for precise and detailed reproduction of the original illustration, resulting in a stunning visual representation of the fashionable clothing and accessories of the time. The Marie Antoinette era, known for its opulence and grandeur, is celebrated in this print through the woman's elegant attire and the intricate details of her hairstyle and millinery. The image serves as a captivating reminder of the fashion trends and cultural influences of the 18th century, making it a valuable addition to any collection of historical fashion illustrations.
