Description
Set of 20 gouache paintings on tracing paper on the theme of jewellery: necklaces, bracelets, earrings, rings… Dimensions of the largest: approx. 18.5 x 27.3 cm What is a jewellery gouache? A gouache drawing is a painting created using gouache that depicts a piece of jewellery with precision. Before the advent of design software, these drawings were essential: they served as artistic mock-ups, technical references for workshops, and the basis for presentations to clients. Each gouache is a work of art in its own right, combining drawing, meticulous colouring and the play of light to best capture the three-dimensionality, the reflections of precious metals and the brilliance of the gemstones. The lot on offer here brings together several original gouache sketches evoking the iconic style of the great jewellery houses of the Place Vendôme in the 1970s – such as Van Cleef & Arpels, Cartier, André Vassort and Chaumet – with graphic lines, stylised floral motifs and a penchant for three-dimensional forms and coloured gemstones. These are rare insights into the jewellery-making process during an iconic era.
