EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting sketch by Fish, titled 'Arrival at the Paris Opera for the Grand Prix Ball, 1926,' captures the essence of an elegant and glamorous night out in Paris during the Roaring Twenties. The illustration depicts a stylish couple, Anne and Harriet, making their grand entrance at the famed Paris Opera House for the prestigious Grand Prix Ball. The year is 1926, and the age of jazz and Art Deco design is in full swing. The couple's fashionable attire reflects the trendy styles of the era. Anne, with her shimmering sequin dress and feather headpiece, exudes an air of sophistication and allure. Her companion, Harriet, dons a sleek, form-fitting gown with intricate beading and a daringly low back. Both women carry elegant clutches, adorned with the same Art Deco motifs that decorate the opera house's facade. As they step out of their chauffeured car, the couple is enveloped by the magical atmosphere of the Parisian night. The opera house, bathed in the soft glow of the streetlights, stands as a testament to the city's rich artistic heritage. The couple's refined elegance and the opulence of their surroundings create a scene of pure glamour and excitement. The Grand Prix Ball was one of the most highly anticipated events of the Parisian social calendar, and this sketch beautifully encapsulates the essence of the night's enchantment. Fish's masterful use of line and color captures the essence of the 1920s, making this a timeless piece of art that continues to captivate and inspire.
