Rene Gruau Le Secret 1987 Signed Lithograph 138/250 Mourlot Framed

A refined and highly collectible original lithograph by celebrated fashion illustrator René Gruau (1909–2004), titled Le Secret, created in 1987.

One of the most iconic visual voices in 20th-century fashion and advertising, Gruau is internationally recognized for his elegant, graphic compositions and enduring collaborations with couture houses such as Dior. Le Secret is a superb example of his signature visual language—bold, minimalist, and deeply theatrical—featuring a mysterious feminine figure set against a luminous red-orange ground with dramatic black brushwork.

This work is an original lithograph on Vélin d’Arches paper, hand-signed in pencil in the lower right margin, and numbered 138/250 in the lower left. It also bears Mourlot’s blind stamp in the lower left corner.

Printed and edited by Mourlot, one of the most important names in 20th-century fine art lithography, this piece offers significant appeal for collectors of fashion illustration, modern European printmaking, and sophisticated decorative art.

A striking and elegant work with exceptional display presence.
