EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases a fashionable woman of the Belle Époque era, dressed in a chic ensemble that embodies the Art Deco aesthetic. The photograph is a handcoloured pochoir (stencil) etching, taken from an illustration by Pierre Legrain, published in Tommaso Antongini's Journal des Dames et des Modes in Paris in 1913. The woman in the photograph wears a short-sleeved crepon top, adorned with delicate embroidery and trim, paired with a white casaque (skirt) made of taffeta. She accessorizes her outfit with a soufflé (stole) draped around her shoulders, holding two exotic birds aloft. The overall effect is one of elegance and refinement, with a touch of orientalism that was popular during this period. Her hat, adorned with roses and a bonnet, adds a feminine touch to the ensemble, while her hatband features intricate designs that complement the embroidery on her top. The woman's outfit is reminiscent of the costumes worn by dancers in the Ballets Russes, a groundbreaking dance company that revolutionized the world of ballet during the early 20th century. This photograph is a testament to the Parisian chic of the time, with its focus on intricate detail, exotic influences, and a sense of playful elegance. The Art Deco period, with its bold lines, geometric shapes, and rich colors, is beautifully captured in this pochoir etching, making it a must-have for any fashion or art history collection.
