Catalogue Note: Georges Gourat (1863-1934), also known as "SEM", was a important French artist and illustrator of the Art Nouveau and Art Deco periods. He produced many iconic images associated with these eras and often executed caricatures of the Parisian elite during his career. The present examples are emblematic of his style and of the era in which they were produced.
