Youth by Louis Icart | Romantic French Art Deco

First published in 1930, Louis Icart’s Youth depicts a carefree young woman caught in a moment of joyful energy as she holds tightly to a spirited black horse. This 1974 offset lithograph reproduction preserves Icart’s signature blend of motion, grace, and Art Deco elegance in a striking, oversized format.

This authentic offset lithograph is part of our “new vintage” archive — sourced in 1980 and stored flat, never framed or displayed. As a result, its colors and detail remain impeccably preserved. Two original tonal variations exist in this print run: one with deeper, richer contrast and one with a lighter, softer finish. Both are authentic and part of the original production process, allowing you to select the look that best suits your space.

Pairing Idea

Joy of Life is the perfect complement to Youth, both celebrating Icart’s lighthearted romanticism and delicate feminine forms. Displayed together, they create a serene, timeless vignette ideal for elegant interiors.
