Hortense by Louis Icart | 1970s Art Deco Lithograph

Printed in 1974, this vintage offset lithograph by French artist Louis Icart captures the grace and glamour of the 1920s in a serene garden setting. Surrounded by abundant blue hydrangeas — the namesake *Hortense* blooms — the figure reclines in quiet thought, offering a moment of romance and stillness.

This print is a reproduction of an original Icart illustration from the Art Deco period, produced by Heritage Publications in the United States. It has never been displayed and remains in mint condition — a rare treasure for lovers of French illustration and romantic vintage decor.
