This is an exquisite original untitled: Description: Girl with Hat, and Monkey holding the mirror. It is an original Pastel on brown paper. The size of the image is 19 x 15 inches. The frame is 38 x 33 inches. Louis Icart is a French artist best known for his drawings of glamorous women often erotic or mildly humorous in tone as well as for his depictions of 1920s Paris life. He was born in Toulouse, France in 1888, and began drawing at a young age. In 1907, he moved to Paris and began studying painting, drawing, and printmaking. Influenced by Jean Antoine Watteau, Francois Boucher, and Jean Honor Fragonard, he became a major figure of the Art Deco period, with his work surging in popularity in both the United States and Europe throughout the 1920s and 1930s. He also worked as a designer in fashion studios during a time when the industry was undergoing a major change, moving away from the conservatism of the 19th century towards a more progressive simplicity. He died on December 20, 1950, at his home in Paris, France.

Condition

Good, a little normal crinkling in the brown paper. It is framed in an exquisite champagne color ornate frame with cloth matting and fillet.
