EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite pochoir (stencil) etching captures the elegance and allure of a woman dressed in a yellow taffeta afternoon dress from the Belle Époque era. The petite robe de taffetas pour l'après-midi, featuring laced sleeves, was a popular fashion choice during this time, exuding an air of sophistication and chic. The delicate yellow hue of the dress is beautifully complemented by the intricate hand-coloured details, which add depth and texture to the image. The woman's outfit is further accentuated by the use of chiffon, mousseline, and soie fabrics for the collar and cutouts, creating a subtle yet striking contrast against the taffeta. The curtains in the background, also made of yellow taffeta, add to the overall sense of opulence and grandeur. This illustration was created by Gerda Wegener, a renowned Danish artist and designer, for Tommaso Antongini's Journal des Dames et des Modes in Paris in 1914. The image is reminiscent of the Art Deco and Orientalist styles that were popular during this period, as well as the costumes used in the Ballets Russes. The Parisians of the time would have regarded this image as the epitome of fashionable attire for an afternoon outing. The woman's refined and graceful appearance embodies the essence of beauty and elegance, making this a truly captivating and timeless piece of art.
