Original Description
In Louis Icart's Femme Allongée Fumant Une Cigarette, the languid grace of Art Deco comes alive through the sensual curves of a reclining woman exhaling cigarette smoke. Rendered in Icart's signature etching style with delicate hand-coloring, the 1920s masterpiece captures Jazz Age sophistication – the subject's relaxed posture against sumptuous textiles speaks of Parisian bohemian luxury. As one of Icart's most iconic works, this piece represents the golden era of French printmaking, where technical precision in etching met the opulent aesthetics of Art Nouveau’s lingering influence. The intimate scale (typically around 16 x 23 inches for original prints) enhances its voyeuristic charm, positioning it as both a celebration of feminine allure and a document of interwar leisure culture. Icart’s works gained renewed collectibility in the late 20th century, with this particular image becoming emblematic of his ability to elevate commercial art into fine art.
For contemporary spaces, this piece shines in environments seeking a touch of vintage glamour. Frame it in a slim gilt or black lacquer frame to complement its atmospheric sepia and caramel tones, ideally hung at eye-level in a dimly lit study or lounge where its smoky ambiance can resonate. Pair with velvet settees or chrome-accented furniture to bridge Deco modernity and classic elegance—the artwork’s warm neutrals harmonize beautifully with emerald green or sapphire blue walls. In offices, position it near leather-bound books or a bar cart to enhance its cocktail-hour sophistication; for homes, consider flanking it with asymmetrical sconces to create a curated vignette. Opt for museum glass to mitigate glare while preserving the delicate color washes. As Icart’s works gain value, high-quality reproductions offer accessible alternatives – select archival paper prints at 80% original size to maintain visual impact without overwhelming standard wall spaces.
