EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite copperplate etching by Auguste Etienne Guillaumot, titled 'Une Jeune Dame en Bergère' or 'A Seductive Young Lady as a Shepherdess,' showcases the elegant fashion of the late 18th century, specifically during the era of Marie Antoinette. The image is derived from an original illustration by François Louis Joseph Watteau from the 'Gallerie des Modes et Costumes Francais,' published in Paris between 1778 and 1787. The woman depicted in the print wears a fashionable promenade dress, complete with a voluminous petticoat and a fitted bodice. She accessorizes her outfit with a delicate ribbon tied around her waist, adding a touch of femininity to her ensemble. On her head, she dons a straw hat adorned with a large bow, which is a popular hairstyle of the time. The woman holds a parasol in one hand and a telescope in the other, suggesting that she is enjoying a leisurely stroll in the countryside. The parasol not only protects her from the sun but also adds an air of sophistication to her look. The telescope, on the other hand, indicates her curiosity and interest in the world around her. The intricate details of the woman's hairstyle are captured beautifully in this etching. Her hair is styled in a high bun, with loose curls framing her face. A delicate ribbon is wrapped around her head, securing her hairstyle in place. The overall effect is one of grace and elegance, reflecting the refined taste and style of the French aristocracy during the late 18th century.
