EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored pochoir (stencil) etching captures the elegance and allure of a woman adorned in a velvet evening coat with silver silk embroidery, as she gracefully steps towards the shoreline. The image is taken from Tommaso Antongini's Journal des Dames et des Modes, published in Paris between 1912 and 1914. The woman's velvet coat, with its rich tone and luxurious texture, contrasts beautifully with the soft, flowing taffeta swimming costume she wears beneath. Her change of attire signifies the transition from an evening of Parisian chic to a day spent at the beach. The intricate silver silk embroidery adorning the coat adds an air of opulence and sophistication, reflecting the Art Deco and Belle Époque influences that were popular during this time. The woman's orientalist-inspired headdress and the balletic pose she strikes further emphasize the fashionable trends of the era. The background depicts a serene beach scene, with gentle waves lapping at the shore and a sun-kissed sky above. The tonal variations in the etching, from the deep blues and greens of the water to the rich reds and golds of the sunset, add depth and dimension to the image. This illustration showcases the fashionable trends of the early 20th century, as well as the artistic style of Tommaso Antongini, who was known for his intricate and detailed etchings. The image is a testament to the timeless beauty and allure of fashion, as well as the enduring appeal of the beach as a symbol of relaxation and escape.
