Framed Art Deco Era Illustration of a Woman with Striped Beach Umbrella

This item is a small-format framed illustration, likely a lithograph or pochoir print, dating from the Art Deco period (circa 1920s-1930s). The artwork depicts a stylized female figure in profile, partially obscured by a large, bold navy blue and white striped beach umbrella, set against a minimalist seaside background with soft green foliage. The composition reflects the high-fashion aesthetic of the era, focusing on bold geometric patterns and elegant silhouettes. The print is set within a wide, dark-toned mat that appears have some light surface texture. It is housed in a decorative wood frame designed to mimic the appearance of bamboo, finished in a metallic gold or bronze leaf patina. Notable features include a visible signature or maker's mark in the lower left corner of the print, though the specific name is slightly illegible in the image. Conditions issues include visible scuffing and loss of the gold finish on the frame edges, particularly at the corners and along the rounded 'nodes' of the faux-bamboo design. The matting shows some minor discoloration consistent with age, and there appears to be slight undulation in the paper of the print. The craftsmanship of the frame suggests a mid-20th-century vanity or boudoir accessory, designed to complement the sophisticated graphic style of the artwork.
