An elegant Art Deco oil on canvas portrait depicting Arlette Doucan, reclining before a stylised architectural landscape. Executed in the distinctive modernist manner of the period, the composition combines geometric forms with soft modelling and a refined palette of pastel pinks, blues and greys, creating a striking and sophisticated image.
The sitter is portrayed in a relaxed pose, draped in a flowing blue scarf, with the angular buildings in the background reflecting the influence of European Art Deco and Cubist-inspired design. Beautifully composed, the painting possesses both decorative appeal and the timeless elegance associated with the finest works of the inter-war period.
The canvas bears an indistinct signature to the reverse and is presented in a sympathetic gilt frame which complements the painting well.
A stylish and decorative Art Deco portrait, equally suited to a period interior or a contemporary setting.
Circa 1930
