He is best known for his elegant and stylized designs, which often featured theatrical figures and elaborate costumes. Erte's work spanned various media, including fashion, stage design, and sculpture, and his distinctive aesthetic captured the glamour and sophistication of the era.

This sculpture embodies the Art Deco style through its streamlined forms, geometric details, and the stylized depiction of Lady Justice. The use of bronze, a popular material in Art Deco sculpture, further emphasizes the piece's connection to the period. The figure's elongated proportions and the theatrical pose are characteristic of Erte's artistic vision, making this piece a notable example of Art Deco sculpture.

His father, Pyotr Ivanovich Tyrtov, was a Russian Fleet AdmiralIn 1910–12 Erte, Romain moved to Paris, France, to pursue a career as a designer. This decision was made over strong objections from his father, who wanted Romain to continue the family tradition and become a naval officer. Romain assumed his pseudonym to avoid disgracing the family. In 1915 he got his first substantial contract with Harper's Bazaar magazine, and went on to an illustrious career that included designing costumes and stage sets. Erté is perhaps most famous for his elegant fashion designs which capture the art deco period in which he worked.
