EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite pochoir (stencil) etching captures the elegance and allure of a woman adorned in the height of early 20th century fashion. The image, titled "Woman in Velvet Cape, Damask Dress, and Pink Slippers," is a hand-colored masterpiece after an illustration by George Barbier, published in Tommaso Antongini's Journal des Dames et des Modes in Paris in 1913. The woman in the print wears a stunning velvet cape embroidered with pearls, its rich texture and shimmering embellishments adding an air of sophistication and opulence. Beneath the cape, she dons a white damask dress, the intricate floral patterns of the fabric adding a delicate and feminine touch. The ensemble is completed with a pair of pink slippers, their soft hue adding a playful and whimsical contrast to the rest of the outfit. The woman's attire is reminiscent of the Art Deco and Belle Epoque eras, with their emphasis on ornate detailing and luxurious fabrics. The use of orientalist motifs, such as the Chinese lacquer screen in the background, adds to the exotic and alluring atmosphere of the image. The woman's pose and expression suggest a sense of grace and poise, as if she is preparing for a grand performance or a night out at the ballets russes. Her attire, with its old-world charm and chic Parisian flair, continues to inspire fashion enthusiasts and collectors to this day. This beautiful print is a testament to the enduring appeal of early 20th century fashion and the artistry of George Barbier and Tommaso Antongini. Its intricate details and vibrant colors bring to life a bygone era of elegance and glamour.
