EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite pochoir (stencil) etching, titled "Toilette d'après-midi" (Afternoon Toilette), dates back to 1913 and captures the essence of feminine elegance during the Belle Époque and Art Deco eras. The image features a woman in an afternoon outfit, dressed in a long skirt with a floral border and a floral jacket adorned with lace trim. She leans gracefully against a column, her posture exuding an air of refinement and relaxation. The scene is reminiscent of a leisurely afternoon spent playing games, such as the Chinese yo-yo or diabolo, which were popular pastimes among the Parisian elite during this period. The woman's outfit, made of linen, is both practical for the warm weather and stylish, with the blossom-patterned ribbon adding a touch of playfulness to her hat. The illustration was created by Umberto Brunelleschi for Tommaso Antongini's Journal des Dames et des Modes, a renowned fashion publication in Paris during the early 20th century. The handcoloured pochoir etching technique used in this print adds a level of detail and vibrancy that brings the image to life. The woman's outfit also bears influences from the Orientalism trend that was popular during this time, as well as the costumes designed for the Ballets Russes, which were known for their innovative and avant-garde designs. Overall, this beautiful print is a testament to the chic and sophisticated fashion sensibilities of the early 1900s.
