EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite copperplate etching by Auguste Etienne Guillaumot, titled "La blonde Melite se promenant sur le midi au Palais Royal," showcases a fashionable woman dressed in English-style attire during the era of Marie Antoinette. The image is derived from an original illustration by Francois Louis Joseph Watteau, published in the "Gallerie des Modes et Costumes Francais" between 1778 and 1787. The elegant woman is depicted wearing a voluminous English-style dress, complete with a fitted bodice and a full, flowing skirt. Her high-waisted silhouette is accentuated by a thin belt that cinches her waist. The dress is adorned with intricate floral patterns and delicate lace details, reflecting the opulence and refinement of the time. Atop her head, the woman wears a Devonshire hat, a popular fashion accessory during the late 18th century. The hat features a tall, conical shape with a wide brim that is adorned with ribbons and flowers. Her hairstyle, known as a "caravane," is a complex arrangement of curls and ringlets that cascades down her back, framing her face and adding to her regal appearance. The woman is shown strolling in the afternoon sun at the Palais Royal, a popular destination for the fashionable elite of Parisian society. The scene captures the essence of the opulence and elegance of the French court during the reign of Marie Antoinette, a time when fashion and style were used to express wealth and power. This beautiful etching is a testament to the enduring allure of 18th-century fashion and the artistry of Francois Louis Joseph Watteau and Auguste Etienne Guillaumot. It offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of grandeur and sophistication.
