EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite pochoir (stencil) etching, created in 1913, captures the essence of the Belle Époque and Art Deco periods with its depiction of a woman in a crepe-de-chine gown adorned with pearls, accompanied by a mischievous cupid. The woman's elegant grey crepe de chine gown features a belt and bag, both intricately embroidered with pearls. Her graceful posture and the delicate folds of her robe are accentuated by the contrasting black straw hat and grey tailleur (suit) she wears. The playful scene unfolds as a cupid, with a satin-gris (grey) bow and arrow, aims a love dart at the woman's head. This whimsical image is a testament to the enduring allure of love and the fashionable trends of the time. This artwork is an illustration from Tommaso Antongini's Journal des Dames et des Modes, published in Paris in 1913. The plate, handcoloured in pochoir technique, was created by Victor Lhuer. The image is reminiscent of the opulence and glamour of the Parisian elite, the Ballets Russes, and the orientalist influences that dominated the fashion world during this period. The woman's refined beauty, the intricate details of her gown, and the enchanting presence of cupid make this pochoir etching a timeless piece of art and a fascinating glimpse into the fashionable world of over a century ago.
