Description
Color lithograph on paper depicting an exotic fantasy portrait of a female figure adorned with elaborate jeweled headdress and pearl jewelry, holding an ornate sailing ship against a dreamlike sky. The composition is inspired by the legendary heroine of One Thousand and One Nights and exemplifies Vargas’s refined Art Deco–influenced glamour style, characterized by luminous skin tones, elegant line work, and romantic allegorical detail. Signed “Vargas” in pencil at the lower right. Editioned 105/500 in pencil at the lower left. The image bears the printed name “ALBERTO VARGAS.” On the verso, this print bears the oval collector’s stamp of George Zorin a respected New York based dealer, specializing in Old Master and 19th-century prints. Zorin’s holdings, built over several decades, are widely recognized in the American print trade. Zorin was a major publisher/distributor of high-quality Vargas prints.
