Balinese, 1990

"Balinese" is an expertly crafted, embossed serigraph on paper with foil stamping and an image size of 30 x 20.5". The image was created originally as a costume design for the show "Legendary Kings" at the "Theatre Femina," Paris, in 1919. From the edition of 650, the art is estate-stamped 'Erté' lower right. Framed in a contemporary, black and gold-tone frame. The artwork ships framed and is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. This beautiful serigraph was inspired by a costume Erté designed for a theater production "Les Rois des Lègendes" (The Legendary Kings) in 1919. The same costume design also inspired a bronze sculpture entitled "Arabian Nights".
