EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases a fashionable Parisian woman adorned in an exotic and luxurious outfit from the Belle Époque era. The woman sits gracefully on a plush sofa, surrounded by the comforts of her interior, including a pet dog at her feet and a mirror reflecting her elegant reflection. Her attire, a manteau de putois, or cape of polecat fur, is accentuated by a collared neckline of fox fur. The intricately designed cape, with its rich textures and contrasting hues, is a testament to the opulence and extravagance of the time. The woman's outfit is reminiscent of the Orientalist influences that permeated the art and fashion scenes during the Belle Époque, as depicted in Tommaso Antongini's Journal des Dames et des Modes. The illustration, handcoloured using the pochoir (stencil) etching technique, adds depth and vibrancy to the image. The woman's accessories, such as her delicate necklace and the book in her hand, further emphasize her refined and sophisticated demeanor. The image also evokes the spirit of the Ballets Russes, which revolutionized the world of dance and art during the early 20th century. The woman's outfit, with its bold and exotic elements, could easily have been inspired by the costumes designed for the company's productions. Overall, this image is a stunning representation of the fashionable and artistic sensibilities of the Belle Époque era.
