EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite copperplate etching by Auguste Etienne Guillaumot, titled "Woman in Fashionable Straw Hat, Era of Marie Antoinette," is a stunning visual representation of the opulence and elegance of the 18th century. The image, taken from the renowned publication "Costumes et coiffures du XVIIIe siecle" (Costumes and hairstyles of the 18th century) by Cagnon, Paris, 1875, is an original illustration by Francois Louis Joseph Watteau from the "Gallerie des Modes et Costumes Francais" (Gallery of Modes and Costumes French), 1778-1787. The woman in the illustration wears a fashionable straw hat, a popular accessory during the reign of Marie Antoinette. The hat is adorned with an extravagant plume of feathers, adding a playful and whimsical touch to her outfit. Her ringlets cascade down her shoulders, framing her face and accentuating her delicate features. The pearls around her neck and the intricate design on her hat further emphasize the refined and sophisticated style of the era. The meticulous detail in the etching, from the intricate patterns on the woman's dress to the delicate folds of her hat, showcases the exceptional craftsmanship of the time. The use of copperplate etching, a popular printing technique during the 18th and 19th centuries, adds to the image's depth and texture. Overall, this illustration offers a glimpse into the lavish and intricate world of fashion during the time of Marie Antoinette.
