This artwork, "The Aces Hearts," by the renowned Art Deco artist Erte (Romanian-born, 1892-1990), features a stylized female figure enclosed within a heart, formed by her cascading red hair. The composition emphasizes the heart's shape as a symbol of love and desire, further accentuated by the presence of a cherub holding a rose. The black background, sprinkled with scattered black hearts, creates a striking contrast against the vibrant red of the figure, emphasizing the central theme of love and passion.
