Très Parisien, 1923, No 6: 15. - QUI M'AIME ME SUIVE... - Une toilette élégante... 1923

This print of an elegant woman, done in 1923 by an anonymous artist, has got me thinking! I can almost feel how the artist built up the image layer by layer. It's giving me strong shades of blue, with black and gold accents. The process feels so delicate, so intentional. I imagine the artist carefully choosing each color, each line, letting the image emerge slowly. I wonder what they were thinking as they painted? Were they imagining a real woman, walking the streets of Paris? I love how the blues create a sense of calm and sophistication, while the paisley-ish swirls add a touch of whimsy. And notice the way the parasol casts a shadow on the ground! For me, it speaks to the power of fashion to transport us to another time and place. Anonymous or not, this artist is definitely part of the ongoing conversation between artists across time and place.
