About the Item
The 1956 lithography by Jean-Gabriel Domergue from the renowned portfolio La Parisienne is a striking example of mid-20th-century French art, showcasing the elegance and allure of the iconic Parisian woman. This lithograph, signed within the plate and printed on fine Japanese paper, captures the grace and charm that Domergue so famously brought to life in his depictions of women.
Jean-Gabriel Domergue was celebrated for his distinctive style, which blended Art Deco influences with a sensual portrayal of femininity. Throughout his career, Domergue’s works often revolved around the theme of La Parisienne, an archetype that represented not only the chic and fashionable women of Paris but also the city itself as a center of culture, sophistication, and refinement.
This particular lithograph is part of a celebrated portfolio titled La Parisienne, which was created to honor and immortalize the quintessential beauty and elegance of the modern woman in post-war Paris. The lithography features delicate lines and fluid compositions, with the subject exuding the confidence and style that characterized the period. Domergue’s use of vibrant yet subtle color contrasts accentuates the figure’s graceful form, highlighting her delicate features and fashionable attire.
The technique of lithography, with its rich texture and ability to produce nuanced details, was an ideal medium for Domergue to express his vision. The piece reflects both his expertise in capturing the human figure and his deep understanding of the sophisticated visual language of his time. Printing on Japanese paper further enhances the delicacy of the work, providing an added layer of refinement and artistry.
Domergue was often associated with the art world’s elite, creating works that were both celebrated in galleries and commissioned for high-profile projects. His portraits, often of fashionable women, embodied the elegance of the era and were designed to reflect the glamorous lifestyle of the French bourgeoisie. La Parisienne, in particular, remains one of his most iconic series, as it perfectly encapsulates the spirit of Parisian femininity that the artist so admired.
The lithograph’s position within the portfolio only adds to its historical significance. Produced in the mid-1950s, La Parisienne came at a time when Paris was firmly established as the global capital of fashion, culture, and luxury. The images in this portfolio not only reflected the style of the time but also contributed to shaping the visual identity of French elegance that would continue to influence art, fashion, and design for decades.
Today, this 1956 lithograph by Jean-Gabriel Domergue is cherished as both a piece of art and a snapshot of an era. It remains a prized possession for collectors and a testament to Domergue's mastery in blending classical art forms with contemporary themes of beauty and sophistication.

Jean-Gabriel Domergue
Jean-Gabriel Domergue was born in Bordeaux in 1889. As a talented and precocious young painter, Domergue was already exhibiting works at seventeen for the Salon Des Artistes Français in Paris. In 1913, he was awarded the prestigious Second Prize of Rome, later winning the gold medal in the 1920 show. Domergue painted over 3000 portraits during his lifetime, from nude portrayals of fashionable actresses and young dancers to prized aristocratic sitters, such as Liane de Pougy and Nadine, the Baroness of Rothschild. Domergue not only transformed the representation of women in paint, but held an important role in the evolution of women’s fashion in France from the 1930’s onwards, designing dresses and hats for numerous famous couturiers including Paul Poiret and Henry Marque. Domergue was made Knight of the Legion of Honour and a Fellow of the French Academy of Fine Arts.
