French Hand-Pulled Pochoir Print Showing Fashions and People of the 1920s

Offered by: Robert James Walsh & Company

Description
This Art Deco period hand-pulled pochoir print depicts the grand interior of an modernist building. A lady in voluminous, flowing gown enters the room descending a rounded, decorative staircase. This could be the lobby of a grand hotel, a night-club, or a casino. Her gown billows out and reveals the striking Art Deco pattern of the lining. Her hair is bobbed in the current fashion and she presents an elegant, elongated silhouette. Below her is a standing couple, the woman with a skull cap, bee-stung lips, and a beauty mark, the man with slicked down hair and wearing an evening suit. In the background a gentlemen in evening attire and slicked hair stands and looks. The styles shown are from 1920s France. The hand-made pochoir technique is elegant and sharp. The design is fluid and stunning. The sight measurements are: 8.25"W x 10.5"H; the overall measurements with the frame are listed below.
