This is a RARE image by the Russian-born French artist and designer Erté (Romain de Tirtoff). Erté's works are iconic Art Deco images that still influence fashion and art trends today. They are chic, elegant, sophisticated and highly recognizable worldwide. Erté worked for Paul Poiret in his early career. He later designed more than 200 covers for Harper’s Bazaar magazine and worked extensively for Vogue. He designed theater programs and sets for the Ziegfeld Follies. This original French vintage Art Deco lithograph originally appeared in a 1926 French magazine. It was an illustration for a story about the mysterious allure of gemstones. It is NOT a modern day reproduction. Erte saw feminine beauty as personal and a reflection of emotions. It features a woman dressed in voluminous, draped fabrics and peering into a looking glass. She is surrounded by patterns and tapestries in deep rich color tones. She is enveloped in pensive reflection of her own beauty. This lithograph is in pristine condition for a 1926 lithograph; no foxing, tears or discolorations. It is RARE to find in pristine condition with the passage of time. Measures 8.75 x 11.75 in size. Comes matted in a neutral tone 16 x 20 custom mat ready for a standard size frame. Please allow time for custom matting.
