Art Deco folding screen

Elegant six-panel folding screen in lacquered and painted wood, attributable to the Art Deco period, datable to the early decades of the 20th century. The work is characterized by a refined monochrome composition depicting three female figures, nude or semi-clothed, immersed in a dreamlike and ceremonial context. The figures, delineated with thin and essential lines, evoke the elegance of the 1920s-1930s illustrations and the sensuality of classical themes reinterpreted in a modern key. The background, consisting of herringbone lines reminiscent of a Japanese screen, creates a rhythmic and geometric contrast with the fluid curves of the bodies and draperies. Details such as the vase with flowers, the chalice raised in a ritualistic gesture, and the elaborate feathered hairstyle of one of the figures, contribute to reinforcing the symbolic and sophisticated atmosphere of the work.
