Woman in Yachting Costume with Telescope

This Art Deco illustration by Georges Barbier, dated 1914, depicts a stylish woman in a nautical-themed "Costume de Yacht." She wears a red jacket with gold buttons, a striped bodice, and a flowing, vertically striped cream and tan skirt. A black and red hat with a blue plume adorns her head, and she holds a telescope to her eye, gazing out at a sailboat on a vibrant blue sea. The scene evokes a sense of leisure and maritime adventure, characteristic of early 20th-century fashion and illustration. The artwork's clean lines, bold colors, and elegant composition highlight the sophistication of the era's fashion.
