It is a matted original gouache costume fashion design drawing that dates to the 1950s.Purchased by us in Paris from a collector known for her original fashion drawing collections. It is a work by a Bordeaux couturier, Jean-Pierre Chansard. Note his initialed signature in lower right and note the documentation showing his official professional letterhead dating to the 1950s. The drawing features a cabaret dance performer in her costume. The work is done in green, lavender and black gouache on thick pale cream colored stock. Take a minute to study the details of her costume with the exquisite elaborate beadwork on the bodice and sleeves. Note the fluffy cuffs, black gloves (see her ring!), her high heels, the deep cut lavender collar design, etc. And, note too her tall black top hat with its jeweled detail design and her makeup! The entertainer with her outstretched gloved arm engages with her viewer. This is a sexy, elegant and fun fashion illustration! Pristine condition. It deserves a special spot in your home décor as it will draw attention. This image is large for a fashion drawing, measuring 11 x 15.5 inches in size. The image comes matted in a white 16 x 20 inch custom mat that works in a standard size frame. (See companion cabaret design drawings offered in our shop.) less
