The Arctic Sea is a striking example of Erté’s unmistakable Art Deco style, presenting an elegant, elaborately costumed figure against a rich blue background. Silver detailing, gold foil accents and delicate embossing give the composition a luxurious, jewel-like quality. This impression is designated “H.C.” (hors commerce) in pencil and is hand-signed by Erté.
The artwork presents in excellent condition, especially considering that it is approximately 45 years old.
