EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored pochoir (stencil) etching captures the elegance and sophistication of a woman's yachting outfit in the early 20th century. The image, titled "Woman in fine wool green suit with striped pekin-silk tunic," was inspired by an illustration from Tommaso Antongini's Journal des Dames et des Modes, published in Paris in 1914. The woman in the illustration wears a chic and stylish outfit, perfectly suited for a day on the water. She dons a fine wool green suit, tailored to fit her figure flawlessly. The suit's jacket, or "veste de drap fin," is cinched at the waist with a leather belt, adding an element of structure and definition. The skirt, or "jupe," is full and voluminous, billowing gently in the breeze. Over the wool suit, the woman wears a striped pekin-silk tunic, or "tunique de taffetas pekine." The tunic's vibrant stripes add a pop of color and visual interest to the monochromatic wool suit. The pekin-silk fabric, a luxurious and exotic material, was likely imported from China and added an air of sophistication and glamour to the outfit. The woman completes her yachting ensemble with a chic leather hat, adorned with a ribbon and a telescope, and a pair of high-heeled shoes. She stands confidently on the deck of a sailboat, gazing out at the water, with a sense of adventure and excitement in her eyes. This image is a beautiful example of the Art Deco and Belle Epoque styles, which were popular in Paris during the early 20th century. The use of hand-coloring and pochoir techniques adds a level of detail and intricacy to the print, making it a true work of art. The influence of Orientalism and the Ballets Russes can also be seen in the exotic pekin-silk fabric and the woman's confident, modern pose. Overall, this image is a stunning representation of Parisian chic and the glamour of the yachting lifestyle during this era.
