EDITORS COMMENTS
This image captures the essence of early 20th century elegance and femininity, as a woman in a beautiful linen dress gazes intently at her reflection in the mirror. The delicate blue linen robe de jardin, or garden dress, is adorned with intricate embroidery and lace details, evoking the natural beauty of a garden in full bloom. The woman's expression suggests a moment of contemplation or perhaps even a hint of apprehension, as she adjusts the fichu, or scarf, around her neck and checks the cuffs of her sleeves. The garden motif is further emphasized by the presence of a bee and a rose in the scene, adding to the overall sense of romance and charm. The woman's outfit also includes a paul, or woolen underskirt, and crepe petticoat, both common elements of the fashionable Parisian wardrobe during this period. This handcoloured pochoir (stencil) etching is an exquisite reproduction of an illustration by Adrien Etienne Drian, originally published in Tommaso Antongini's Journal des Dames et des Modes in 1913. The Art Deco and Belle Epoque influences are evident in the intricate details and bold use of colour, making this a truly stunning piece of fashion history. The image also carries the influence of the Orientalism and ballet Russes movements, which were popular during this time and heavily influenced the fashion world. This beautiful print is a testament to the timeless allure of fashion and the enduring appeal of the mirror as a symbol of self-reflection and self-presentation.
