Get lost in the captivating world of George 's "Le Jour et La Nuit," a mesmerizing framed canvas that transports you to the glamorous Parisian high society of the 1920s. This hand-colored pochoir print first graced the pages of Barbier's iconic 1922 almanac "Falbalas & Fanfreluches."
Witness the enchanting dance between Day and Night, as two exquisitely dressed figures embody the passage of time. The radiant Day, adorned in a voluminous white gown and ornate headdress, stands proudly against a vibrant Chinese-red background.

Barbier's genius shines through in every detail – from the delicate floral motifs framing the scene to the contrasting textures of lace, silk, and feathers. You'll be captivated by the Art Deco elegance and the subtle nod to Cinderella-esque transformation.
