ArtistElla du Cane, Aubrey Beardsley, Erte: Some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again. Gold foil.
An Art Deco painting features a woman with a bob haircut and a long beige dress, wearing a gold bracelet. She is seated, reading from a black book with white pages. The woman's hands, face, and neck have skin tones, and she has visible eyelashes and eyebrows. She looks down at a child with curly blonde hair and a white dress, who is kneeling with their hands clasped together, looking up at the woman. The background is composed of a rich, crinkled gold color on the right and a deep black on the left, separated by a thin gold archway. On the black background, there is a gold vertical striped pattern. A vase filled with white flowers, painted in black outline with gold details, sits on the black background. On the gold background, a spray of gold-outlined stalks with small white flowers extends upwards from a thin black line toward the top right. Lines of gold divide the black and gold sections. The entire image is rendered in an Art Deco style, resembling an illustration from the 1920s or 1930s.
