Photogravure after Raoul Dufy – "Chez Schiaparelli", 1937, 45 x 36 cm

Heliogravure based on a drawing by Raoul Dufy (1877–1953), created after the 1937 original entitled "Chez Schiaparelli, dit Haute Couture" (At Schiaparelli's, also known as Haute Couture). This vibrant and elegant scene captures the atmosphere of Parisian haute couture salons, with its feminine silhouettes, refined interiors, and sophisticated ambiance, true to Dufy's light and theatrical style. The image depicts a fashion presentation in a Rococo setting, likely inspired by the salon of the House of Schiaparelli, a leading figure in 1930s fashion. The original drawing was reproduced using heliogravure, a delicate technique that preserves the lightness of the lines and the richness of the details. Framed under glass with an antique gilt frame and cream mat, enhancing the composition.
