Orchidee
Step into the sultry world of 1920s Paris with Louis Icart. This print features his famous 'Icart Girl' archetype: a blonde bombshell with finger-waved hair and bright red lips, lounging by a waterfall in a feather-trimmed gown while clutching a bouquet of orchids. Icart was the king of Art Deco illustration, known for capturing the glamour and seduction of the Jazz Age. Notice the pop of red on her lips? That’s likely hand-colored (a technique called pochoir), a signature touch he used to make his moody, monochromatic scenes come alive with a hint of romance.
