Erté "Asian Princess" Bronze Sculpture

About the Item

This limited edition bronze sculpture entitled "Asian Princess" is by the father of Deco, Erté. Erté was prolific across a number of different endeavors from fashion design to set design to an artist of every medium possible (excelling in jewelry, painting and sculpture). Erté, whose moniker was from the French pronunciation of his initials("R" for Romain and "T" for Tirtoff to make Erté), started his art career in 1912 in Paris at the young age of 19. He carefully choose a pseudonymn so as not to shame his family. The profession of art was a disgraceful one for the man whose father was an admiral in the military. This is truly a wonderful example of Erté's virtuosity.
