Signed Erte Romain De Tirtoff Evening Night Artist Proof Serigraph - A limited edition mixed media serigraph by Erté (Romain De Tirtoff, Russian/French, 1892-1990) titled ”Evening Night.” The artwork is executed in a vibrant Art Deco Revival style, depicting two highly stylized female figures in elaborate costumes—one in purple and magenta tones, the other in blue—set against a black ground. The composition is flanked by horizontal metallic gold foil stripes at the top and bottom. The serigraph utilizes layered components, potentially paper cutouts or vinyl appliqués, to create dimension and texture, incorporating detailed line work and gold foil accents, particularly visible in the fan motif on the purple figure's skirt. The scene includes four additional ghosted white line profile sketches illustrating various headwear styles. The print is hand-signed in the lower margin and hand-numbered as an Artist’s Proof, marked ”AP 30/50.” The artwork is housed under glass in a contemporary frame constructed of black and light wood fitted with gold-toned metal corner brackets. Frame measures 46 1/2 inches high by 37 inches wide.
