EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph depicts a woman in an elaborate penitent costume, clad in a hooded robe and holding a candle. The intricately detailed image, created through pochoir stencil handcoloring, is a beautiful example of the ornate and theatrical costumes popular during the 1920s. The penitent, with her hooded habit and somber expression, evokes a sense of introspection and contrition. The use of rich, deep colors in the hand-painted details adds depth and texture to the image, making it a stunning work of art in its own right. This particular lithograph is from the "Our Fancy Dress Costumes" series, published in Paris in 1928. The series was known for its high-quality production values and intricate designs, making it a popular choice for those seeking authentic and elaborate costumes for masquerade parties and other festive occasions during the Jazz Age. The penitent costume, with its historical and religious connotations, was a popular choice for those seeking to add an air of mystery and intrigue to their masquerade ensembles. The hooded robe and candle were symbolic of penance and repentance, adding an element of drama and sophistication to any costume collection. This beautiful lithograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of historical and theatrical costumes, and serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage and creativity of the 1920s. Whether used as a decorative piece or as inspiration for a costume of one's own, this image is sure to captivate and inspire.
