About the Item
The 1956 lithography by Jean-Gabriel Domergue Sylvie la manucure, part of the renowned La Parisienne portfolio, stands as an elegant representation of post-war French art and a celebration of the quintessential Parisian woman. This lithograph, signed within the plate, was printed on high-quality paper and continues to capture the charm, grace, and sophistication that Domergue masterfully depicted throughout his career.
Jean-Gabriel Domergue is widely known for his portraits of women, often idealized as elegant and fashionable, embodying the style and beauty of the French bourgeoisie. His works, filled with delicate lines and graceful forms, encapsulate the refinement and allure of the Parisian lifestyle, especially through his celebrated La Parisienne series. This particular lithograph, one of the highlights from the portfolio, captures the spirit of Parisian femininity, focusing on the poise, elegance, and modernity of the subject.
The lithography technique allows for nuanced details and a subtle texture that enhances Domergue’s sophisticated approach to portraiture. The vibrant colors and soft shading add to the sense of elegance, highlighting the subject’s fashionable attire, which was central to Domergue’s style. The artist’s deft use of lines and contours to depict the female form, coupled with the balanced composition, conveys both the grace and dynamism of his subjects.
Domergue’s work is highly regarded for its combination of Art Deco influences and the modernist exploration of the human figure. His portraits were not just about visual likeness but also about capturing the essence of the era’s aesthetic sensibilities, where elegance, beauty, and femininity were paramount. As an artist of the post-war era, Domergue was heavily involved in the world of fashion, society, and high culture, and his works often reflected these interests, creating an aspirational image of Parisian life.
The lithograph, produced as part of the La Parisienne portfolio in 1956, arrived at a time when Paris was still the epicenter of global fashion and culture, and it solidified Domergue’s legacy as one of the most influential artists of his time. The portrayal of the Parisienne—both modern and elegant—was a hallmark of his career, and this lithograph remains one of the most celebrated pieces from that series.
Whether displayed in private collections or seen in art exhibitions, this 1956 lithograph by Jean-Gabriel Domergue continues to captivate viewers with its timeless portrayal of femininity, grace, and the luxurious Parisian lifestyle. It serves as a tribute to Domergue’s talent and his contribution to the depiction of the stylish and aspirational ideals of the French elite during the mid-20th century.

Jean-Gabriel Domergue
Jean-Gabriel Domergue was born in Bordeaux in 1889. As a talented and precocious young painter, Domergue was already exhibiting works at seventeen for the Salon Des Artistes Français in Paris. In 1913, he was awarded the prestigious Second Prize of Rome, later winning the gold medal in the 1920 show. Domergue painted over 3000 portraits during his lifetime, from nude portrayals of fashionable actresses and young dancers to prized aristocratic sitters, such as Liane de Pougy and Nadine, the Baroness of Rothschild. Domergue not only transformed the representation of women in paint, but held an important role in the evolution of women’s fashion in France from the 1930’s onwards, designing dresses and hats for numerous famous couturiers including Paul Poiret and Henry Marque. Domergue was made Knight of the Legion of Honour and a Fellow of the French Academy of Fine Arts.
