This is a hand coloured, plate-signed pochoir from La Gazette Du Bon Ton, Issue #11, 1913, Plate IV. The intricate metallic gold painting of each leaf in this illustration provides a sophisticated backdrop for the stunning fall suit designed by Paquin. A lovely piece of moody sophistication. Tres early Deco with overtones of the lingering Art Nouveau influence.
