EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning image captures the elegance and sophistication of the early 20th century in this handcoloured pochoir (stencil) etching of a woman dressed in a corn-yellow velvet gown with a little black velvet waistcoat. The dress, with its intricate embroidery and delicate pearl details, is reminiscent of the opulence and decadence of the Belle Epoque and Art Deco periods. The woman's cape, adorned with a geometric design, adds an air of mystery and allure. The woman's outfit is accessorized with a black velvet waistcoat, a chic addition that adds a touch of contrast and balance to the overall look. Her hair is styled in an intricate updo, adorned with roses and pearls, while her slippers are made of pink damask and feature delicate Chinese lacquer detailing. The setting of the image is equally captivating, with a Chinese lacquer screen and a manteau de velours blanc (white velvet cape) in the background. The woman's outfit is reminiscent of the costumes worn by dancers in the Ballets Russes, a groundbreaking dance company that revolutionized the world of ballet during this time. This image is an illustration from Tommaso Antongini's Journal des Dames et des Modes, a popular fashion publication in Paris during the early 1900s. The illustration was created by Pierre Legrain, a renowned artist and designer known for his intricate and detailed works. The pochoir technique used to create this image involved applying color to the stencil using a brush, resulting in a vibrant and richly textured final product. This image is a testament to the beauty and artistry of the fashion world during the early 20th century.
