Erté Pierrot — Authentic Limited Edition Vintage ERTÉ Lithograph (1980)

A hauntingly elegant and highly collectible vintage Art Deco lithograph by the legendary Erté, Pierrot captures the theatrical romance and melancholy sophistication that became synonymous with Erté’s iconic artistic style.

Originally published in 1980 by Franco Maria Ricci in Parma, Italy, this authentic limited-edition vintage print was taken from a series of 3,000 numbered copies, with this particular example being copy number 41. A copy of the Certificate of Authenticity can be provided upon request.

Set dramatically against a rich black background, the ethereal Pierrot figure appears suspended in motion, adorned in flowing translucent costume details delicately accented with soft blush tones and intricate ornamental patterns. The composition beautifully reflects Erté’s mastery of elegance, costume design, and stylized theatrical imagery inspired by the glamour of early 20th-century Art Deco and European stage performance.

Printed on high-quality paper with original inks, the tipped-in lithograph retains exceptional depth, clarity, and color vibrancy. Its striking contrast and refined minimalism make it particularly impactful when professionally framed, either displayed individually or as part of a curated Erté salon wall collection.

A sophisticated acquisition for collectors of Art Deco, theater and costume design, fashion illustration, and vintage decorative arts.
