Art Deco drypoint etching of a flirtatious woman, with hand colouring

1929. Gorgeous oval shaped drypoint etching with aquatint, and small detail / colouring by hand. The work is unsigned - but most likely by Jean Gilles. This is a fantastic example of the Années folles (France in the 1920s) passion for what was known as 'Boudoir Art'. Gilles worked in the style of Louis Icart or Jean Hardy. Under white cardboard mount. Perfect for framing. The etching and the mount are both in a very good condition, with just a small spot or two (covered by mount). Whole item including card mount 600 x 400 mm (23½ x 15¾ inches). Image 370 x 195 mm. Superbe gravure à la pointe sèche de forme ovale avec aquatinte, et petit détail / coloration à la main. L'oeuvre n'est pas signée - mais très probablement de Jean Gilles. C'est un exemple fantastique de la passion des Années folles pour ce qu'on appelait «l'art boudoir». Gilles a travaillé dans le style de Louis Icart ou de Jean Hardy. Sous passe-partout en carton blanc. Parfait pour l'encadrement. La gravure et le montage sont tous deux en très bon état, avec juste une petite tache ou deux (couvertes par le montage). Article entier, y compris le support de carte 600 x 400 mm.. Image 370 x 195 mm.
