EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite copperplate etching by Auguste Etienne Guillaumot, titled 'Woman in satin dress a la Polonaise, era of Marie Antoinette,' captures the essence of 18th century French fashion. The elegant woman in the print is depicted wearing a robe a la Polonaise, a fashionable style popular during the reign of Marie Antoinette. The satin dress, with its full, voluminous skirt and fitted bodice, is accentuated by the intricate details of the rosette-adorned pipe bonnet atop her pouf hairstyle. The woman in the print is shown taking a leisurely stroll with her daughter, both of them well-dressed in the latest fashion. The daughter, also wearing a satin dress and a simpler version of the Polonaise style, carries a cane and wears an apron, a common accessory for young girls during this era. The mother's elegant attire, complete with a long train and a delicate fan, speaks to the opulence and refinement of the time. This stunning print is an original illustration from 'Costumes et coiffures du XVIIIe siecle,' published in Paris in 1875. The illustration was originally created by Pierre Thomas Le Clerc for the 'Gallerie des Modes et Costumes Francais' between 1778 and 1787. The intricate details of the etching, from the delicate folds of the satin fabric to the intricate rosettes on the hats, provide a glimpse into the fashionable world of the French aristocracy during the era of Marie Antoinette. Overall, this print is a beautiful representation of the fashion and elegance of the 18th century, transporting us back in time to an era of opulence and refinement.
