Les Trois Beautes de Mnasidika (1922) fashion illustration by George Barbier

Les Trois Beautés de Mnasidika (1922) — George Barbier

Three silhouettes, one spell of elegance. Barbier stages a trio of beauties with Greco-classical poise—profiles like cameos, gowns distilled to Art Deco geometry, ornament pared to pure line and lustre. It’s fashion as theatre: poised, modern, and impossibly chic. This fine-art print brings a breath of 1920s Paris to any room.

Why it captivates

• Art Deco refinement — distilled line, balanced masses, and luxurious restraint.

• Classical muse — a Hellenic homage filtered through 1920s couture style.

• Pochoir spirit — rich, flat colour and razor-clean contours that sing at scale.

• Graphic harmony — negative space and ornament in crisp, modern dialogue.

• Timeless palette — elegant tones that pair with timber, linen, and brass.

• Statement artwork — sophisticated focal point for living rooms, dressing areas, studios.

What you’ll see

Three fashion figures arranged like a frieze; sleek evening drapery; stylised accessories; a measured ground with Deco accents; cool, controlled linework and sumptuous flats. Up close: delicate patterning and immaculate contour. From a step back: a serene, fashion-forward tableau with unmistakable 1920s poise.

A richer historical frame

Illustrator George Barbier (1882–1932) helped define Paris fashion illustration between the wars—books, portfolios, and magazines that celebrated couture through deluxe pochoir printing. Dated 1922, Les Trois Beautés de Mnasidika fuses classical grace with modern glamour: a cool, composed emblem of the Art Deco era.
