EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Woman on the balcony at the theatre with opera glass, 1802" transports us back to the elegant world of 19th-century France. The image depicts a woman standing on a balcony at the theater, her gaze fixed through an opera glass. Her attire exudes sophistication and refinement, as she wears a dress with scalloped bodice and sleeves. A cambric turban adorns her head, adding an air of mystery to her ensemble. The artist Pierre-Charles Baquoy skillfully captures every intricate detail in this handcoloured copperplate engraving. From the delicate folds of her shawl resting on the balustrade to the draping of her corsage and sleeves, each element is meticulously rendered. This piece was originally featured in Pierre de la Mesangeres Journal des Dames et des Modes, a prestigious magazine dedicated to women's fashion during that era. It showcases not only fashionable clothing styles but also highlights trends in costume design. As we admire this enchanting print from our private collection, we are transported to a time when elegance and femininity were celebrated. The woman depicted here embodies grace and poise while indulging in one of society's most beloved pastimes - attending the theater. Through this exquisite engraving by Baquoy, we catch a glimpse into French culture during the early 19th century - where fashion played an integral role in defining one's social status and personal style.
