EDITORS COMMENTS
In this exquisite copperplate etching by Auguste Etienne Guillaumot, we are transported back in time to the opulent and elegant world of the French court during the era of Marie Antoinette. The focus of the image is a young gentleman, dressed in the latest fashion, clad in an intricately embroidered coat and waistcoat. The rear view of the gentleman allows us to fully appreciate the intricate details of his attire, with the richly decorated coat featuring elaborate floral and geometric patterns, and the waistcoat adorned with delicate frills and ruffles. The gentleman's fashionable attire is reminiscent of the extravagant styles popularized during the late 18th century, a period known for its grandeur and decadence. The image is taken from the seminal work "Costumes et coiffures du XVIIIe siecle" (Costumes and hairstyles of the 18th century) by Cagnon, published in Paris in 1875. The original illustration was created by Francois Louis Joseph Watteau, a renowned artist of the Gallerie des Modes et Costumes Francais (Gallery of French Fashion and Costume), which was published between 1778 and 1787. The gentleman's refined appearance and the intricacy of his clothing serve as a testament to the artistic and cultural achievements of the time. The meticulous detail captured in this etching offers a glimpse into the world of the French aristocracy during the Age of Enlightenment, a time of beauty, elegance, and opulence. This stunning image is a must-have for anyone with an interest in fashion history, 18th-century culture, or the art of etching.
