EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite copperplate etching by Auguste Etienne Guillaumot, titled 'La Belle desesperee de l'infidelite de son amant' or 'The Beautiful Woman Despairing of Her Cheating Lover,' is a poignant depiction of a fashionable woman of the era of Marie Antoinette, wearing the popular 'bonnet a la Nicolet.' The bonnet, with its high, rounded crown and wide brim, was a common hairstyle accessory during the late 18th century, often worn with elaborate poufs and draped skirts. The woman in the etching is shown with a pensive expression, her hands covering her face in despair. Her hairstyle, with its voluminous pouf and cascading curls, is meticulously rendered, as are the intricate details of her bonnet and the delicate drapery of her skirt and petticoat. The etching is based on an original illustration by Francois Louis Joseph Watteau, from the 'Gallerie des Modes et Costumes Francais,' published in Paris between 1778 and 1787. The image captures the essence of the Rococo period, with its emphasis on elegance, refinement, and the melancholic themes of love and betrayal. The woman's despairing gaze and the delicate details of her attire serve as a reminder of the complex emotions and intricate social codes that defined the fashion and culture of the time. This beautiful etching is a testament to the enduring allure of the fashion and art of the 18th century, and a window into a world of opulence, beauty, and heartache.
