Original Description
The delicate ink drawing Laborde by French artist Chas-Laborde (1886-1941) captures Parisian elegance through his signature 1920s Art Deco lens. With precise yet expressive linework characteristic of his satirical illustrations for Le Rire and Vogue, the piece portrays a fashionable woman mid-movement—her elongated silhouette and stylized accessories embodying Jazz Age sophistication. Created during his golden decade between World Wars (1920-1930), when Laborde's work graced theater programs and luxury editions, this drawing exemplifies how pre-war illustration bridged fine art and commercial design. Its historical significance lies in preserving the visual language of Parisian modernity—more intimate than Cassandre's posters yet more refined than Sem's cabaret sketches, occupying a unique niche in graphic art history where wit meets haute couture.
When displaying Laborde in interiors, treat it as a jewel-box focal point against matte navy or dove-gray walls—its monochrome palette harmonizes beautifully with brass fixtures and rosewood furnishings typical of Art Deco revival spaces. Ideal for a study or dressing room, the intimate scale (typically 25x35cm for original prints) demands proximity; frame it in thin ebony with museum glass to amplify ink textures. For contemporary contrast, pair with mustard velvet chairs or terrazzo side tables whose circular patterns echo the drawing's curved compositional flow. In offices, position near Mid-Century modern credenzas where its linework can converse with Eames-era geometries—the key is maintaining negative space around it like gallery walls would, allowing its nostalgic chic to breathe amidst modern elements.
