"Gentils Propos" (1921) by George Barbier is a charming Art Deco illustration depicting a young couple in traditional Slovak dress. The man stands to the left, wearing a white shirt, trousers, and a cloak, while the woman rests her hand on a wooden fence, her colorful dress showcasing intricate patterns. The soft blue background with blossoming branches adds to the romantic atmosphere, highlighting the beauty of traditional European customs. This work embodies Barbier's style, known for its elegant lines, delicate details, and evocative portrayal of fashion and culture.
