EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite copperplate etching by Auguste Etienne Guillaumot, titled "Woman in Bonnet with Flowers, Era of Marie Antoinette," is a stunning representation of the fashionable headwear of the late 18th century. The image is derived from an original illustration by Claude Louis Desrais, published in the esteemed "Gallerie des Modes et Costumes Francais" between 1778 and 1787. The elegant woman in the print wears a bonnet adorned with delicate flowers and ribbons, a popular fashion trend during the reign of Marie Antoinette. The bonnet, a sophisticated alternative to the more elaborate and heavy wigs of the time, was a symbol of the French aristocracy's love for nature and the outdoors. The intricate design of the bonnet, with its delicate floral motifs and elegant ribbons, reflects the refined taste and attention to detail that characterized the fashion of the period. The copperplate etching process, a labor-intensive technique used to create detailed and precise images, beautifully captures the intricacies of the woman's bonnet and the delicate folds of her dress. The use of light and shadow adds depth and texture to the image, making it a true work of art. This print is a testament to the enduring allure of the fashion of the late 18th century and the continued fascination with the era of Marie Antoinette. It is a reminder of a time when fashion was an art form, and the wearing of a beautiful hat was a statement of elegance and refinement.
