About the Item

A 1928 color etching signed in pencil by Maurice de Becque for "Sonnica de Courtisane" by Vincente Blasco-Ibanez, this piece exhibits the stylized, moderne style we call Art Deco. Depicting three nude women in various stages of sleep and swoon in a shadowy foreground, the piece puts its spotlight on a classical statue of a nude male in the background. This gorgeous print makes use of a wide range of color: deep blacks, rich grays and gray-rose. De Becque was known for his Art Deco illustrations, including a book of letters by Montesquieu published in 1925.

By Ray Frederick Coyle
Located in Philadelphia, PA
This remarkable and stunning set of six sensuous prints, highlighted in gold and silver ink, was published and bound by John Henry Nash in 1926 to honor the life of his frequent collaborator, Ray Frederick Coyle.
