Original Description
Louis Icart's Under The Sheets (From The Book Le Sopha) exudes an intoxicating blend of sensuality and sophistication, hallmarks of the French Art Deco movement. Created in the 1920s, this etching and drypoint masterpiece captures a dreamlike scene—a reclining nude draped delicately in sheer fabric, her languid pose framed by flowing curtains and intricate patterns. Icart’s meticulous linework and elegant compositions reflect his admiration for Rococo grace while embracing the boldness of modern Art Deco. The piece originates from his illustrations for Le Sopha, an 18th-century erotic novel by Crébillon fils, blending literary allusion with visual seduction. Celebrated for reviving etching as a fine art medium, Icart bridged aristocratic refinement and Jazz Age exuberance, making this work a quintessential example of his ability to balance eroticism with artistry—earning him a revered place among early 20th-century illustrators.
For interiors, Under The Sheets thrives in spaces that celebrate luxury and subtle provocation. Hang it in a boudoir or study adorned with gilded mirrors, velvet upholstery, and Art Deco furnishings—think tapered legs and geometric accents—to amplify its vintage glamour. Opt for a rich palette: deep emerald or sapphire walls to contrast the soft monochrome tones, or pair it with blush pinks for a romantic touch. A mid-sized frame (around 24x36 inches) ensures impact without overwhelming; choose an ornate gold or black lacquer frame to echo its era. In offices, it lends effortless sophistication to creative studios or executive suites, best complemented by minimalist decor to let its intricate details shine. Place it as a focal point above a sleek console or fireplace, balanced with subdued textures like marble or brushed brass for harmonious opulence.
