EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored pochoir (stencil) etching captures the essence of early 20th century Parisian high society and the allure of the hunt. The central figure is a woman dressed in a plum velvet coursing outfit, trimmed with opossum fur, her hunting shoes adorned with white gaiters. The opulence of her attire is further accentuated by a satin black and green robe, a fur stole, a muff, and a hat adorned with a plume. The woman's regal posture and the elegant pose of her companion, a dog in a green coat, convey the refined air of an afternoon hunt. The image is based on an illustration by Maurice Taquoy, published in Tommaso Antongini's Journal des Dames et des Modes in 1913. The Journal was a leading fashion publication of the time, known for its stunning visuals and coverage of the latest trends in fashion, art, and culture. This plate, with its Art Deco and Belle Epoque influences, showcases the orientalist and balletic themes that were popular during this period. The intricate details of the illustration, from the woman's intricately designed coursing outfit to the textured fur and satin fabrics, are a testament to the skill and artistry of the etching process. Overall, this print offers a glimpse into the world of Parisian chic and the enduring allure of the hunt.
