EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite pochoir (stencil) etching captures the essence of autumnal elegance in this image of a woman, adorned in a chic ensemble of a printed taffeta dress and straw hat. The intricately designed dress, titled "Toilette de taffetas imprime," features vibrant autumnal fruits and foliage, while the wide-brimmed straw hat is adorned with feathers and an aigrette. The woman, with a basket of ripe fruits in hand, exudes a sense of refinement and sophistication. She is accompanied by a servant, dressed in a livery of black velvet, who holds a parasol and a waistcoat, adding to the overall opulence of the scene. The setting is further enhanced by the presence of a car in the background, symbolizing the height of Parisian chic during the Belle Epoque and Art Deco periods. The illustration, created by George Barbier for the Journal des Dames et des Modes in 1914, is a stunning example of the Orientalist influences that permeated European fashion during this time. The use of rich colors and intricate patterns in the woman's dress, as well as the parasol and the servant's livery, reflect the influence of Eastern art and design. This beautiful etching, hand-colored using the pochoir technique, is a testament to the enduring allure of fashion and the artistry of the past. It transports us to a bygone era of elegance, glamour, and refinement, where a simple walk in the park with a basket of autumn fruits could be a grand affair.
