About the Item

This quintessential Art Deco scene, with its nymph in Arabian costume offering a dish of water to a spotted fawn, was painted by Einar Petersen, a California artist known for his exotic mural painting. Petersen painted a set of murals on the theme of "Aladdin and His Lamp" for the spring street guaranty building and loan association and others for the Mayflower Hotel, Schaber's Cafeteria and other hotels, all in Los Angeles. The painting is executed in gouache and is the companion to another mural study offered by Renaissance Man. (The dimensions include the frame.).

"Satyr and Nymph", Art Deco Masterpiece Painting with Nudes in Paradise, 1932
Located in Philadelphia, PA
One of the most sensual and brilliant Art Deco paintings in the French manner that we have ever offered, this idyllic scene of Satyr and Nymph, lounging under a fruited tree with lush fields in the distance, was painted by Gheorghe Labin in 1932.

This painting was entered into the Salon Bucarest in 1932, in a period when Labin exhibited with Mattis Teutsch, the de facto leader of Romania's modern painters, together with Corneliu Baba...

Painted by Eugene Savage -- arguably, America's most successful and prolific muralist in the Art Deco style, with important surviving paintings dating from the 1920s to the 1950s -- this study was made for a Zodiac-themed ceiling mural.
