George Barbier — Grande robe du soir en tulle et satin, écharpe de velours à glands de perles [Evening gown with velvet sash and pearl tassels] | Art Deco Fashion Print

One hand lifted, a woman lets a long rope of pearls run from her fingers to her neck, her eyes lowered. Her pale gown falls in sheer tiers over a long satin skirt and pools into a train at her feet. A teal velvet sash crosses from the shoulder, ties in a bow at the waist and ends in two beaded tassels. Green drop earrings match the rings on her other hand, resting on a mustard panelled wall beside a round window of violet and orange.The original: pochoir, 1913; Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.George Barbier (1882–1932) was the leading illustrator of French Art Deco fashion. From 1912 his pochoir plates for the Gazette du Bon Ton, Falbalas et Fanfreluches and the couture houses of Paquin, Worth and Poiret drew on Persian miniatures, Greek vases and the Ballets Russes, setting slender figures against flat, saturated colour. He also designed for the stage and illustrated Verlaine and Louÿs. His plates are held by the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.Each print is made to our Archival Museum Standards: a 12-ink giclée, printed to order.
