EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured pochoir (stencil) etching captures the elegance and allure of a woman in a blue silk evening gown, as depicted in an illustration by Adrien Etienne Drian from Tommaso Antongini's Journal des Dames et des Modes, published in Paris in 1912. The woman, with a graceful posture and an enchanting smile, wears a robe du soir (evening dress) made of paillettee (sequined) blue soie bleu de lune (moonlit blue silk). She accessorizes her outfit with a lorgnette (a folding magnifying glass used to see better in dimly lit environments), a feathered hat, and ribbons in her hair. The image exudes the opulence and sophistication of the Belle Époque and Art Deco eras, with its intricate details and rich colors. The woman's elegant attire and her refined demeanor suggest that she is preparing for a grand ball or a night out on the town with her partner. The couple is likely to be among the fashionable Parisians of the time, dressed in the latest trends and styles. The illustration also showcases the Orientalist influences that were popular during this period, as evidenced by the woman's exotic headdress and the delicate patterns on her dress. The image is reminiscent of the costumes used in the Ballets Russes, which were known for their avant-garde and innovative designs. Overall, this pochoir etching is a beautiful and captivating work of art that transports us to a bygone era of glamour and elegance.
