EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured pochoir (stencil) etching depicts a woman in a striped nightgown, lovingly cradling a pet parrot against her chest. The image, titled "Saut de lit" (Leap from the Bed), is an illustration by the Danish artist Gerda Wegener, taken from Tommaso Antongini's Journal des Dames et des Modes, published in Paris in 1914. The woman's nightgown, made of delicate taffeta, is adorned with yellow stripes that contrast beautifully with the soft pink hues of the surrounding rosebush and the dainty wings of a butterfly. The woman's petite frame and the exotic parrot add an air of elegance and allure to the scene. The Art Deco and Belle Epoque influences are evident in the intricate detailing of the woman's hair, which is styled in soft waves, and the ornate design of the rosebush. The use of orientalist motifs, such as the parrot and the rosebush, adds to the exotic and dreamlike quality of the image. The woman's refined and chic appearance, along with the Parisian setting, reflects the fashionable trends of the time. The pochoir technique used in this etching involved the application of colour through a stencil, resulting in a vibrant and detailed image. The handcolouring adds a touch of sophistication and depth to the print, making it a stunning addition to any art collection or decorative display. This image is a testament to the beauty and elegance of the early 20th century and the enduring appeal of Gerda Wegener's artwork.
