EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured pochoir (stencil) etching is a captivating depiction of a woman in a ratine blouse with an embroidered belt, taken from Tommaso Antongini's Journal des Dames et des Modes, published in Paris in 1914. The woman is dressed in a blouse de ratine, a fashionable garment of the time made of a soft, flowing fabric, likely velvet, with a fitted bodice and long, flowing sleeves. The blouse is accentuated by an intricately embroidered belt, adorned with gold details and a rose motif. The woman wears her hair powdered and styled in the chic updo popular during the Belle Epoque and Art Deco periods. She is also wearing a manteau de velours, a fashionable coat made of velvet, fastened with a gold brooch. The overall effect is one of elegance and refinement, with a hint of orientalism in the rose motif and the rich gold details. This illustration is reminiscent of the costumes worn by dancers in the Ballets Russes, a groundbreaking dance company founded by Sergei Diaghilev in 1909. The company was known for its innovative and avant-garde productions, which often featured exotic and exoticizing themes. The fashionable Parisians of the time were deeply influenced by the Ballets Russes and its costumes, which helped to define the style of the era. The pochoir technique used in this etching involved the application of color through stencils, resulting in a vibrant and detailed image. The use of this technique, along with the intricate details of the illustration, showcases the high-quality production values of the Journal des Dames et des Modes, which was known for its beautiful and fashionable illustrations.
