Cover Under the Blanket｜Louis Icart This elegant etching is one of the original illustrations from *La Nuit et le Moment* (“The Night and the Moment”), a celebrated illustrated book by Louis Icart. The complete series consists of 25 works, issued in a strictly limited edition of only 525 copies. Icart masterfully captures the refined daily life and subtle sensuality of the Parisienne, using delicate lines and a soft, luminous palette. The scene depicts an intimate moment beneath the covers, conveying both quiet intimacy and sophisticated allure—hallmarks of Icart’s distinctive style. The artwork is pencil-signed by the artist himself, confirming its authenticity and collectible value.
