This framed 1920 Art Deco drypoint and aquatint etching by Louis Icart, titled 'Spanish Comb' or 'Blue Vanity', shows a woman seated at a dressing table while adjusting a comb in her hair. Rendered in warm sepia tones, the paper print is presented in a dark wood frame with a neutral mat mount and features a blue glazed ceramic vase, a white vanity mirror, and a black lace gown. The pencil signature and numbering appear alongside publisher details. The artwork measures 72.5 cm high, 61.5 cm wide, and 2 cm deep. Positioned above a sideboard, the piece suits living rooms, bedrooms, or hallways as a wall-mounted focal point. The framed work brings period glamour to traditional or eclectic interiors, pairing well with classic wooden furniture and neutral wall finishes. The compact depth ensures a flush fit against interior walls while the monochrome frame complements the delicate linework of the print.

FAQs

Art Deco drypoint etchings from the 1920s are known for their fluid lines, soft tonal gradients, and focus on elegant, stylised figures. Artists of this era used drypoint techniques alongside aquatint to achieve both sharp linear detail and subtle shading.

These prints were executed on copper plates engraved with precision tools, inked, and pulled onto high-quality woven paper. Many pieces were additionally finished with hand-applied colour washes or delicate aquatint dusting.

Authentic prints typically feature the artists handwritten pencil signature in the lower margin, alongside publisher details printed at the top edge. Original impressions often show a visible plate mark indented into the paper and may bear a blind stamp.

A framed Art Deco print can be hung above a console table, dressing desk, or sideboard to serve as a focal point. Paired with minimalist modern framing or dark timber accents, it brings period character to modern interiors.

To prevent fading and deterioration, paper prints should be mounted using acid-free materials and framed behind UV-filtering glass. Keep the artwork away from direct sunlight and high humidity environments.
