EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-painted print captures the essence of old-world elegance and sophistication. The central figure is a woman dressed in a robe de promenade, or walking dress, made of Surah, a chequerboard fabric, and hand-painted taffeta. The dress features a voluminous train and a pelerine, or cape, in the same fabric. She wears a straw hat adorned with a swan plume, adding a touch of whimsy to her outfit. The black velvet border frames the image, providing a striking contrast to the light colors of the dress and the woman's outfit. The woman is depicted in a serene setting, standing by the window of a carriage, possibly on a journey. The scene exudes an air of travel and adventure, with a blue sky and lush greenery visible through the window. The print is a hand-colored pochoir (stencil) etching after an illustration by Umberto Brunelleschi from Tommaso Antongini's Journal des Dames et des Modes, published in Paris in 1912. The illustration showcases the fashion trends of the time, with the woman's outfit reflecting the Art Deco and Belle Epoque styles popular during the early 20th century. The image also showcases elements of orientalism and exoticism, with the woman holding a bird in a cage and a rose in her hand. The overall effect is one of timeless beauty and charm, transporting us to a bygone era of grace and elegance.
