EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite copperplate etching by Auguste Etienne Guillaumot, titled "Fashionable Woman with Tricorn Hat," transports us back to the elegant era of Marie Antoinette. The image, originally illustrated by Francois Louis Joseph Watteau from the "Gallerie des Modes et Costumes Francais," published in Paris in 1875, showcases a fashionable woman adorned in the height of 18th-century style. The woman wears a redingote, a long jacket that covers the hips and falls to the ankles, over a petticoat. The tricorn hat, a popular headpiece during this period, sits atop her head, its three corners gracefully angled to one side. A delicate caraco, a short jacket with a front opening, peeks out from beneath the redingote. The woman's hairstyle, reminiscent of the "Annonciade" style, features an elaborate coiffure with a bouquet of flowers held in her hand, adding a touch of femininity and grace. Her expression is serene, her posture poised, and her demeanor exudes the refined air of the French aristocracy. The scene takes place in the idyllic setting of the Champs-Élysées, with the woman breathing in the good air of the fields, her hand resting on her chest in a gesture of contentment. The etching, with its intricate details and vibrant colors, captures the essence of the Marie Antoinette era, a time of opulence, elegance, and sophistication.
