A refined and evocative example of Louis Icart’s celebrated Art Deco imagery, Conchita (1929) captures the romantic elegance and feminine allure that defined the artist’s most desirable works of the late 1920s. Executed as a color etching with delicate hand-coloring, the composition reflects Icart’s mastery of line and tone—graceful contours, soft atmospheric shading, and a subtle yet expressive palette.

Created at the height of Icart’s popularity, this work exemplifies the glamour and sophistication of Parisian society between the wars. The subject embodies the playful sensuality and refined charm that made Icart one of the most collected printmakers of the Art Deco period.

Hand-signed in pencil and numbered 397 from the edition of 500, this impression demonstrates the quality and craftsmanship associated with Icart’s studio production. His limited-edition etchings remain highly sought after by collectors for their decorative appeal and enduring representation of 1920s elegance.

An exceptional addition to any Art Deco, early 20th-century, or figurative print collection. See less
