ドーヴィル by Paul Poiret, 1931

Paul Poiret, the legendary fashion designer who liberated women from corsets, captures the glamorous chaos of a Deauville casino in this lively 1931 sketch. You can almost hear the clinking of chips and the murmur of the crowd as elegantly dressed figures gather around a 'Banco' table, rendered in loose, vibrant washes of blue and teal. The handwritten note 'La Salle de Baccara' at the bottom confirms we are in the high-stakes Baccarat room, perfectly encapsulating the Art Deco era's love for leisure and high society with a flair for capturing mood over rigid detail.
