EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite copperplate etching by Auguste Etienne Guillaumot, titled 'Woman lifting the hem of her dress, era of Marie Antoinette,' transports us back to the opulent and elegant world of the French aristocracy during the late 18th century. The image, originally illustrated by Pierre Thomas Le Clerc for the 'Gallerie des Modes et Costumes Francais,' showcases a woman in the height of fashion, dressed in the latest styles of the time. The woman is depicted in a serene setting, likely in her morning chamber, as she lifts the hem of her voluminous white petticoat, revealing the delicate layers of her underskirt. She wears a fashionable robe jupon, adorned with intricate lace and embroidery, and accessorizes with a chic bonnet, a muff, and a fichu draped around her neck. Her hairstyle, reminiscent of the popular 'waterfall' style, cascades down her back, adding to the overall grandeur of the scene. The woman's demeanor exudes a sense of leisure and refinement, as she seems to be enjoying a moment of relaxation before the start of another day in the court of Marie Antoinette. The intricate details of the etching, from the delicate folds of her clothing to the intricate patterns of her accessories, serve as a testament to the extravagance and sophistication of the era. This beautiful etching, created in 1875 by Auguste Etienne Guillaumot from the original illustration by Pierre Thomas Le Clerc, is a stunning reminder of the beauty and elegance of the French aristocracy during the age of Marie Antoinette.
