EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite copperplate etching by Auguste Etienne Guillaumot, titled "Costumes et coiffures du XVIIIe siecle" or "Costumes and hairstyles of the 18th century," showcases a fashionable woman adorned in the elegant attire of the era of Marie Antoinette. The woman's grandiose hat, adorned with an extravagant array of feathers, is a testament to the opulence and grandeur of the time. Her ringlets cascade down her shoulders, framing her face and adding to the overall allure of her appearance. The woman's outfit consists of a giant bonnet, which was a popular fashion trend during the late 18th century. Her bodice, with its intricate pearl detailing, reveals a modest yet seductive decolletage. The fashionable ensemble is completed with a voluminous skirt, which adds to her regal and sophisticated appearance. The original illustration for this etching was created by Pierre Thomas Le Clerc for the "Gallerie des Modes et Costumes Francais," a publication that documented the latest fashion trends during the reign of Marie Antoinette. The intricate details and lifelike quality of the etching are a testament to the skill and artistry of the time. Auguste Etienne Guillaumot, a renowned French engraver, expertly captured the essence of the original illustration in his copperplate etching. The result is a stunning work of art that transports us back to the opulent and elegant world of 18th century France.
