About the Item

Fine little drawing with pen and gouache on paper, made by Gerda Wegener in the 1920s. The motif shows a woman in a dress inspired by flower petals in shades of yellow and black. She wears a large flower in her hair and a necklace, which together with the pose and decorative details give the work a light and elegant look. The style is characteristic of Wegener's work in the 1920s, with clear contours, confident lines and a graphic expression characterized by the aesthetics of the Art Deco period. Measurements Frame: 30 x 22,5 x 2,5 Drawing: 18,5 × 9 cm Framed in a gilded wooden frame with passepartout and glass. Signed with monogram: GW.
