This illustration by Charles Martin, created in 1924 for the *Gazette du Bon Ton*, depicts a stylishly dressed woman in a fur coat standing in a landscape, while a gentleman, perhaps a shepherd, points to a star in the sky. The Art Deco style of the illustration is characterized by geometric forms, bold lines, and a sense of elegance. The illustration was originally published in a fashion magazine and reflects the trends of the 1920s, where fur coats and decorative, yet functional, accessories were highly fashionable. The illustration has since found a home in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, offering an intriguing glimpse into the fashion and design aesthetic of the era.
