Hand-coloured fashion print

This French Art Deco fashion illustration depicts three women in elegant outfits of the late 1920s or early 1930s. Their elongated silhouettes, short hairstyles and carefully patterned dresses capture the distinctive style of the period. Delicate outlines and restrained areas of colour give the composition a light, graphic quality.

A hand-coloured print, France, circa 1930. Newly framed with a mount.

Dimensions including frame: H 51 × W 38 cm.

Art Deco fashion illustration

Fashion illustrations were an important part of the visual culture of the Art Deco era. They presented contemporary clothing through stylised figures, expressive poses and a precise use of line. In this example, the three contrasting outfits bring together the period’s interest in decorative pattern, elegant proportions and modern femininity.
