EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite copperplate etching captures a moment frozen in time from the era of Marie Antoinette. A woman, dressed in the elegant style of a la Polonaise, delicately adjusts her stocking with grace and poise. Her attire is adorned with intricate details - from the plumes on her bonnet to the frills on her dress, every element exudes sophistication and refinement.
The black and white engraving by Auguste Etienne Guillaumot beautifully showcases the fashion of the late 18th century, highlighting the elaborate costumes and hairstyles that were popular during this period. The original illustration by Pierre Thomas Le Clerc adds to the authenticity and historical significance of this piece.
As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to an era of opulence and extravagance, where attention to detail was paramount in defining one's social status. The woman in this print embodies elegance and femininity, embodying the essence of French fashion during Marie Antoinette's reign.
This stunning artwork serves as a reminder of a bygone era when fashion was not just clothing but an art form that reflected societal norms and values. It is a testament to the enduring allure of historical costume design and its ability to captivate our imagination centuries later.
