EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite copperplate etching by Auguste Etienne Guillaumot, titled "Fashionable Bonnet from the Era of Marie Antoinette," offers a captivating glimpse into the opulent world of 18th-century French fashion. The illustration, taken from the esteemed "Costumes et coiffures du XVIIIe siecle," or "Costumes and Hairstyles of the 18th Century," published in Paris in 1875, is an original work by Francois Louis Joseph Watteau, as previously featured in the "Gallerie des Modes et Costumes Francais" between 1778 and 1787. The image showcases a fashionable woman adorned in the height of Marie Antoinette-era elegance. She dons a voluminous polonaise robe, a popular style during the late 1700s, which features a fitted bodice and a full, pleated skirt. The robe is accessorized with a delicate, frilly apron and a pair of fashionable stockings held up by hose. The pièce de résistance of her ensemble is the extravagant bonnet, which sits atop her elaborate hairstyle. The bonnet boasts a tall, conical shape, adorned with plumes, ribbons, and intricate frills. The woman's hairstyle, reminiscent of the intricate updos of the time, is meticulously styled with curls cascading down her back and intricate braids adorned with pearls and other ornate embellishments. This stunning etching offers a glimpse into the opulence and elegance of 18th-century French fashion, providing a captivating window into a bygone era. The intricate details of the woman's attire and accessories, as well as the meticulous attention to detail in the etching itself, make this a truly enchanting and transportive piece of art.
