Erté Sports Cloak — ERTÉ Lithograph (1972)

Elegant, understated, and effortlessly sophisticated, Sports Cloak is a refined vintage Art Deco lithograph by the legendary Erté, whose iconic fashion illustrations helped define the glamour and modernity of the Art Deco era.

Originally published in 1972 by Franco Maria Ricci in Parma, Italy, this authentic limited-edition vintage print was taken from a series of 2,000 numbered copies, with this particular example being copy number 390. A copy of the Certificate of Authenticity can be provided upon request.

The composition features a poised female figure enveloped in a dramatic couture-inspired cloak rendered in rich camel tones with delicate ornamental detailing. Accented by a deep plum hat and Erté’s signature elongated silhouette, the piece beautifully captures the elegance, refinement, and quiet luxury synonymous with 1920s and 1930s high fashion.

Minimal yet visually powerful, Sports Cloak exemplifies Erté’s mastery of balance, proportion, and stylized form. The restrained palette and clean composition give the artwork a timeless sophistication that feels equally at home in both classic and contemporary interiors.

Printed on high-quality paper with original inks, the tipped-in lithograph retains exceptional clarity, crisp detail, and beautifully preserved color. Presented in excellent vintage condition, the piece would look extraordinary professionally framed either individually or as part of a curated Erté salon-style collection.

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