About the Item

Rose Gown is an expertly crafted, embossed serigraph on paper with foil stamping and an image size of 30 x 23 inches. From the edition of 690, the art is numbered 294/300 and signed 'Erté' lower right (there were also 300 Roman, 60 AP, 5 PP, and 25 HC). Framed in an elegant gold-tone moulding. Two years after arriving in Paris, in a bold stroke of independence, Erté left the employ of Paul Poiret to set out on his own. In keeping with the fortune that followed him throughout his life, he met and began a brief association with Henri Bendel, owner of the famous New York department store. In his very first attempt to design for an American audience, Erté created over thirty original designs for Bendel’s review, all of which were immediately accepted. It was 1915 - the young artist/designer was just 23 years old, and his reputation was growing rapidly. Rose Gown was inspired by one of those original thirty designs. The embodiment of elegance and glamour, Rose Gown is a design that captures the drama of haute couture at the turn of the century. This captivating dress, through Bendel’s exposure, resulted in an expanded American market for Erté and increased interest in his sophisticated, distinctive designs leading, just one year later, to his infamous association with Harper’s Bazaar. Martin Lawrence Galleries is an affiliate of Erté's publisher Chalk & Vermilion Fine Arts. This print is therefore as new, with no prior ownership, coming straight from the publisher.
