The Seven Deadly Sins, Pride 

"The Seven Deadly Sins, Pride" is a work by the Art Deco artist, Erte. The image depicts a woman, clad in a red gown studded with stars, standing on a pedestal with a golden staff adorned with a star. This staff represents her pride and her elevated status. The woman, a symbol of beauty and vanity, stands above a crowd of shadowy figures, their heads silhouetted, signifying the subservience of others to her inflated sense of self. Erte's use of bold colors, striking contrasts, and Art Deco stylized lines are typical of his work. He explored the themes of beauty, fashion, and the human condition through his art.
