Joseph L Deitch Men’s Fashion Illustration: Evening Wear 1940s

The enigmas of fashion illustration are navigated charmingly in this ink and watercolor wash work: caught by the streetlight a man in a white dinner jacket is escorting a knockout redhead in a long white evening gown with a green belt and matching opera gloves, while in the foreground a jolly older man in a three-piece suit holding an avuncular pipe dispels any notion of noirishness that might have crept into the scene. Artwork measures 15″ x 11″. Watercolor and Ink on illustration board.
