The Seasons, Summer 

"The Seasons, Summer" is a vibrant and whimsical illustration by the renowned Art Deco artist Erté (Romanian-French, 1892-1990). The artwork depicts a nude woman with flowing golden hair surrounded by cherubs, hearts, and butterflies. The central figure embodies the essence of summer, with a warm complexion and a relaxed posture, seemingly floating amongst the playful cherubs. The illustration's bold lines, flat colors, and stylized figures are characteristic of Erté's unique style, which influenced fashion, design, and illustration throughout the 20th century.
