EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite pochoir (stencil) etching captures the essence of elegance and refinement as a woman prepares for an evening out at the renowned Parisian restaurant, Bois. The image, after an illustration by Armand Vallee, was published in Tommaso Antongini's Journal des Dames et des Modes in 1913. The woman, dressed in a stunning evening gown, is shown in the moment before she steps out into the Parisian night. Her graceful figure is accentuated by the delicate folds of her gown, which cascade down her slender frame. She wears a bonnet adorned with flowers, adding a touch of femininity and charm to her ensemble. Despite the formal occasion, a sense of playfulness is evident in the scene. A skipping rope and a bucket and shells suggest a game of childhood memories, hinting at the woman's youthful spirit. The use of a stencil etching technique adds a unique texture and depth to the image, enhancing the intricate details of the woman's costume and the surrounding environment. The Art Deco and Belle Epoque influences are evident in the design, with its bold lines, rich colors, and Orientalist motifs. The woman's costume, with its flowing sleeves and intricate beading, is reminiscent of the costumes worn by the dancers of the Ballets Russes. The Parisian atmosphere is further emphasized by the presence of Parisians in the background, dressed in their chic attire, and the dunes and beach setting, which evoke the beauty and charm of the French coastline. This image is a testament to the enduring allure of fashion and the artistry of the early 20th century.
