Elegant Art Deco illustration by renowned Italian artist and designer Umberto Brunelleschi (1879–1949). Titled “Nude Amid Pillows,” this refined composition depicts a graceful female figure standing beside a bed surrounded by richly patterned pillows and textiles. The work beautifully captures Brunelleschi’s signature Art Deco aesthetic—delicate linework, soft pastel tones, and stylized decorative elements.
Brunelleschi was a celebrated illustrator and theatrical designer who worked extensively in Paris during the early 20th century, contributing illustrations to luxury books, fashion publications, and theatrical designs. His imagery epitomizes the glamour and sophistication of the 1920s Art Deco period.
This piece appears to be a hand-colored lithographic book illustration from the 1920s, originally issued as a tipped-in plate in a luxury publication. The printed signature “Brunelle” appears in the plate at the lower right.
The artwork is presented in an attractive vintage frame with a teal mat and gold accent liner that beautifully complements the soft palette of the illustration. A wonderful decorative piece ideal for Art Deco, Hollywood Regency, or eclectic interiors.
