EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting pochoir (stencil) etching captures the essence of early 20th century Parisian elegance and whimsy. The image, titled "Toilette d'après-midi" or "Afternoon Toilette," features a woman in an elegant afternoon dress and hat, gazing intently at a group of birds perched on a branch. The intricately hand-colored details of the print showcase the woman's refined attire, complete with a lace collar, long sleeves, and a flowing skirt. Her hat, adorned with a delicate ribbon and feather, adds a touch of sophistication to her ensemble. The background of the print is filled with a lively scene of Parisian life, including a couple in masquerade costumes - a Pierrot and a Clown - likely on their way to a fancy ball. Other figures, such as an Incroyable man and a Cantiniere, add to the vibrant and eclectic atmosphere. This print is an illustration by Armand Vallée, taken from Tommaso Antongini's Journal des Dames et des Modes, published in Paris in 1914. The Journal was known for its coverage of fashion, art, and culture during the Belle Époque and Art Deco periods. The Orientalist influences and Ballets Russes costumes in the print reflect the artistic trends of the time. The pochoir technique used in this etching involved applying color to the print by hand, using a stencil, resulting in a rich and vibrant final product. This beautiful and intricate print is a testament to the artistic and fashionable spirit of Paris during the early 1900s.
