Russian-born French artist and designer (1892–1990) who was one of the leading figures of the Art Deco movement. He was especially famous for costume design. Beautiful original gouache painting, most likely a costume design, of a woman in a ruffled collar and ornate costume resembling bird’s wings and tail on an off-white 10.5 x 14.5 sheet of heavy stock. Signed at the bottom of the figure “Erte.” Also signed and inscribed on the reverse, “A Mme McConnell en bon souvenir, Erte, Paris 22-2-75.” In fine condition, with pencil notations to top right and a mild shade of toning from previous display. A rare opportunity to acquire an original work from the diversely-talented artist, who in his later years, contributed to the rebirth of the Art Deco movement with his vibrant designs.
