Stolen Kisses 

"Stolen Kisses" is a striking example of Art Deco illustration by renowned artist Erté (Romanian-French, 1892-1990). The image features a woman in a flowing gown, adorned with berries, gazing at a musical box. The background is a dark, almost starless, night sky, with whimsical silhouettes of women suspended in glowing, bulbous orbs. This artwork exemplifies Erté's signature style, characterized by elongated figures, geometric patterns, and a sense of glamour and elegance. The captivating interplay of light and shadow adds depth and drama to the scene, creating a sense of mystery and romance.
