Top hats 

"Top Hats" is a striking illustration by the renowned Art Deco artist, Erte (Romanian-French, 1892–1990). The work features a stylized, elegant woman in a fur-trimmed gown, standing amidst a line of men in top hats and formal attire. The stark black and white background creates a dramatic contrast to the vibrant colors of the woman's dress and the men's white bow ties. The geometric patterns in the background further enhance the Art Deco style. This piece exemplifies Erte's signature style, blending fashion, illustration, and graphic design.
