Vivid and alluring, this French Art Deco watercolor by Chasquest captures the confident elegance of the modern woman of the 1930s. The stylized portrait depicts an exotic female figure holding a white flower to her lips—her intense gaze, geometric hairstyle, and elongated form rendered with striking linear precision and restrained color.
The bold stylization, simplified contours, and strong graphic sensibility are hallmarks of the Art Deco era, reflecting both Parisian fashion illustration and early Hollywood glamour. This piece may have been conceived as a costume or theatrical design, typical of the interwar fascination with Orientalism and modern femininity.
Professionally framed with a double mat in black and cream, this work presents beautifully and is ready to hang.
Minor age-related imperfections consistent with its period (see photos).
Dimensions:
Framed: 16 ¼ in H × 15 ½ in W × 1 in D
Artwork: 9 in H × 8 in W
A rare and evocative example of French Art Deco portraiture, ideal for collectors or interiors blending Art Deco, Hollywood Regency, or Modernist styles.
