Le Billet Doux. Mongole 1955

"Le Billet Doux. Mongole" (1955) is a woodblock print by Paul Jacoulet, a French artist known for his depictions of Asian cultures. This particular work showcases a woman in traditional Mongolian attire, her head veiled in a vibrant red and adorned with blue jewels. Her colorful, patterned robe and the geometric designs on her cushion create a striking visual contrast, emphasizing the richness of Mongolian culture. Jacoulet’s delicate use of line and color gives the print a sense of quiet intimacy, capturing a moment of contemplation and perhaps longing.
