Alphabet V 

This illustration, "Alphabet V", is from a series of Art Deco style alphabet letters by famed French artist, Erte. The artist, whose real name was Romain de Tirtoff, was known for his highly stylized and glamorous designs, often featuring elegant figures with flowing lines and intricate details. In this piece, Erte has incorporated the letter V by placing two figures, adorned with floral elements, into the shape. The black background serves to further highlight the ornate details and the figures' delicate forms.
