An authentic, signed early 20th-century period illustration print by the famous Austrian artist Raphaël Kirchner (1876–1917). Highly regarded as a definitive master of Belle Époque glamour, Kirchner's evocative illustrations paved the way for classic twentieth-century pin-up art. This elegant print highlights his clear, printed signature and features a beautifully rendered profile portrait of a woman in a classic period bonnet, set against a rich, finely textured tonal background typical of early Art Deco styling.
The artwork showcases an exceptional period printing process, capturing the delicate line work and subtle, muted hints of color with great precision. It arrives professionally set within a high-quality double mount featuring a distinctive black inner border, housed in a contemporary black wooden frame with a classic silver-gilt inner slip.
The print itself is in very good condition, offering excellent visual clarity and sharp details. The frame displays some minor cosmetic wear from handling over time, but remains structurally sound and ready to hang. On the reverse, the piece retains its original gallery sticker from Sharps of Harrogate, a once recognised Fine Art Trade Guild commended framer, ensuring premium presentation standards.
