An original Art Deco pochoir illustration by George Barbier, dated 1923, from the celebrated portfolio Fantôches.
This refined and evocative composition exemplifies Barbier’s distinctive Jazz Age aesthetic—graceful figures, theatrical narrative, and exquisitely balanced color rendered through the pochoir (hand-stenciled) process. The imagery reflects Barbier’s enduring influence on early 20th-century fashion illustration and stage design.
This example retains its original justification/provenance page, documenting the limited printing and publication details of the portfolio, an important confidence-building element for collectors. The work is presented in a custom frame with UV-protective glass, preserving both color and paper integrity.
Elegant in scale and rich in atmosphere, this piece works beautifully in libraries, dressing rooms, salons, or layered gallery walls.
