EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming reverse silhouette card, hailing from the Netherlands around the 1910s, showcases an elegant and artistic design featuring two women in wide, voluminous skirts and pink dresses, each holding a parasol. The intricate decorative border frames the image, adding an extra touch of elegance and old-fashioned charm. The reverse silhouette technique, popular during this era, creates a striking visual effect by depicting the subjects in silhouette against a contrasting background. In this case, the women's figures are rendered in black against a gold-trimmed background, making their wide skirts and parasols stand out in bold relief. The two women are shown greeting each other, their parasols creating an interesting reverse silhouette effect. The parasols, a common accessory during this time, not only provided shade from the sun but also served as a fashion statement. The wide, pink parasols in this image add a pop of color and playfully contrast with the black silhouettes of the women. This card, with its intricate design and charming subject matter, is a beautiful example of the artistic sensibilities of the early 20th century in the Netherlands. The use of gold trim and the wide, flowing skirts and parasols add to the overall sense of elegance and grace, making this a truly captivating and timeless piece.
