Original Description
Georges Barbier's "Femmes à la Toilette," created as a fan design for renowned Parisian couturier Madame Paquin around 1913, encapsulates the luxurious elegance of Parisian fashion during the Belle Époque. This exquisite gouache painting depicts gracefully elongated female figures adorned in flowing gowns, engaged in intimate toilette rituals amidst an opulent setting of gilded mirrors and sumptuous textiles. Barbier’s signature Art Deco-influenced style shines through in the delicate linearity, jewel-toned palette, and stylized forms that recall both 18th-century French Rococo elegance and Japonisme influences. As a leading illustrator of the period, Barbier's work for Paquin represents the golden age of fashion illustration, where fine art and haute couture merged. This particular piece exemplifies the "style moderne" transition between Art Nouveau and Deco, making it historically significant as both a fashion artifact and a bridge between artistic movements.
For interior decoration, "Femmes à la Toilette" would elevate a dressing room, boudoir, or luxury boutique with its feminine sophistication. Its vertical fan shape (typically ~25x50cm when open) suits narrow wall spaces between mirrors or vanities, while the peachy gold and emerald tones pair beautifully with velvet upholstery or lacquered furniture. In an office, frame it with a slender gilt frame to complement the gilded details, and place it alongside other Deco-era prints for a curated gallery wall. The pastel palette harmonizes with soft neutrals or deep greens, making it ideal for spaces with brass accents and marble surfaces. For larger impact, reproduce the fan’s motifs on cushion textiles or as inspiration for a feature wall with decorative panels in similar tones.
