Stylized fashion illustration titled “Femme Fetale II” by Croce, depicting an elegant elongated female figure accompanied by two Borzoi dogs. The composition features the dramatic proportions and flowing lines associated with Art Deco–inspired fashion illustration. The figure is shown wearing a patterned gown and luxurious wrap, rendered in warm golden and neutral tones that give the piece a sophisticated vintage aesthetic.
The Borzoi dogs flank the central figure and enhance the sense of elegance and refinement often seen in early 20th-century fashion imagery. Loose brushwork and soft washes of color create movement and atmosphere while maintaining the striking silhouette of the figure.
The artwork bears the signature Croce within the image and retains the original gallery label on the reverse reading “Picture Galleries Inc. – Femme Fetale 2.” The piece is presented in a decorative frame with layered matting that complements the warm palette and Art Deco styling.
