Hand-coloured pochoir from La Gazette Du Bon Ton, Issue #7, 1924, Plate 40. An unusual artistic composition for the times, an arresting juxtaposition with the head and shoulders dominating an otherwise landscaped setting. This demonstrates the test-the-limits, watch-me! spirit of the Deco artists, which was the hallmark of the age. The image comes alive with the intensive carmine red focus on the then-trendy Callot sisters' haute mode chapeaux. H. 9.75in X W. 7.5in; H. 24.8cm X W. 19.1cm |
