The artwork entitled “Costumes Parisiens. Petite Robe De Jardin” was created by George Barbier in 1913. It belongs to the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement and is classified under the illustration genre.
The artwork depicts a fashion illustration, showcasing a woman in a stylish blue garden dress designed by Poiret. The dress, made of blue wool crepe, is accented with pink details and includes lingerie cuffs and fichu. The figure stands gracefully amidst a garden setting, adorned with blooming flowers and lush greenery. With a gentle tilt of her head, the woman exudes elegance and poise. A bee hovers near a pink rose, further enhancing the idyllic garden scene. The intricate design and sophisticated color palette exemplify the finesse of early 20th-century fashion illustration and the distinctive characteristics of the Art Nouveau movement.
