" Le Petites Robes Simply - Créations Pitoëff "

George's Barbier's illustration for Pitoeff. Trotteur pour le Matin, en lainage noir raye gris, boutonne de nacre. - Robe d'apres-midi en lainage bleu marine raye blanc; col et garniture en jersey blanc. While we are unable to locate Barbier's signature anywhere in the image, the work is clearly by his hand as the models hands each exhibit Barbier's characteristically stylized fingers. As was the norm for Barbier, these are inhumanly angular with rather poorly rendered proportions (while a first rate artist obv. the man 'did not do hands'). This original fashion plate, more than 85 years old.
