Original Description
Louis Icart’s Red Riding Hood (le Chaperon Rouge) is a mesmerizing Art Deco masterpiece that radiates charm and sophistication. Painted in the early 20th century, the work captures the iconic fairy tale heroine with a sultry, modern twist, blending Icart’s signature elegance with a hint of playful seduction. The composition showcases his exquisite draftsmanship, with delicate etching-like details and flowing lines that enhance the dreamlike aura. Set against a muted yet luminous background, Little Red Riding Hood is portrayed as a poised, fashionably dressed woman, her cape billowing gracefully—a departure from the traditional innocent child. Icart’s work reflects the glamour and liberated spirit of the Roaring Twenties, securing his reputation as a leading figure in Art Deco illustration. While not as widely recognized as his Été or Laziness, this piece remains a jewel in his oeuvre, celebrated for its fusion of narrative whimsy and high-style allure.
For decor, Red Riding Hood effortlessly elevates spaces with its timeless allure. Ideal for a study or lounge, its warm, earthy tones harmonize with rich woods and luxurious textiles like velvet or silk. The artwork’s moderate size (typical Icart prints range 12x16” to 20x30”) makes it versatile—frame it with a gilded or matte black border for a classic touch, or opt for a minimalist float frame to emphasize its elegance. Pair it with subdued lighting to enhance the soft glow of the print, and complement the palette with deep reds, creams, or forest greens for cohesion. In an office, it adds whimsy without distraction, perfect for creative industries. Whether as a focal point or part of a curated gallery wall, Icart’s piece infuses sophistication and a whisper of fairy-tale magic.
