The Henley Hat, 1890
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that beautifully captures the essence of fashion and elegance in the late 19th century. Created by Theodore Roussel, this exquisite piece showcases his mastery in the art of drypoint engraving. The image portrays a young woman wearing an intricately designed hat, which was undoubtedly a fashionable accessory during that era. The attention to detail is remarkable, as every line and curve on the hat is meticulously etched onto ivory Japanese paper. Roussel's choice to depict this scene at Henley-on-Thames in Oxfordshire, England adds another layer of significance to the artwork. Known for its prestigious regatta event held annually since 1839, Henley-on-Thames was synonymous with high society and leisurely pursuits. By placing his subject within this context, Roussel not only highlights her refined taste but also alludes to her participation or attendance at such an esteemed gathering. The portrait exudes grace and poise as we see the young woman captured in profile. Her expression suggests confidence and sophistication while simultaneously evoking curiosity about her identity and background. "The Henley Hat" serves as a testament to Roussel's artistic prowess and his ability to capture both beauty and historical context through graphic art. This print stands as a timeless representation of women's fashion from that era while offering viewers a glimpse into the cultural milieu surrounding events like regattas - where style met sport amidst picturesque English countryside settings.
