🎨 About the Artist – Erté (Romain de Tirtoff)

1892–1990

Erté, born Romain de Tirtoff in St. Petersburg, Russia, was one of the most influential figures in 20th-century Art Deco design. A master of costume, stage design, and illustration, Erté’s style became synonymous with elegance, theatricality, and stylized glamour. His work was featured in Harper’s Bazaar, theatrical productions, fashion collections, and major galleries worldwide.

Erté’s collectible serigraphs, particularly signed Artist Proofs, are highly sought after by fine art collectors, decorators, and curators alike. His pieces represent not just a decorative vision, but an enduring legacy in modernist design.

💬 For the Collector Who Knows:

“Aladdin and His Bride” embodies the fantasy and romance Erté is celebrated for — flowing robes, stylized movement, rich color fields, and a sense of narrative beauty. This is a rare opportunity to acquire an Artist Proof of a beloved Erté composition at a price well below recent auction results, where comparable artist proofs have sold for up to $2,800.
