The Perfect Pleasure - Ecstasy

Size (inches):
Frame:Black Premium Metal
Sale price$99.99

A woman in profile enjoys a cigarette with poised elegance, her face softly lit in warm tones while smoke curls upward into the dark backdrop. The clean planes of color and bold lines evoke mid-century advertising design, presenting smoking not just as a habit but as a refined ritual. At the bottom, text recalls Oscar Wilde’s famous words: “The cigarette is the perfect type of a perfect pleasure. It is exquisite. It leaves one unsatisfied. What more can one want?” The pairing of imagery and quotation captures the mix of sophistication and fleeting relief cigarettes once symbolized.

As artwork, it is both nostalgic and provocative, evoking a bygone era when advertising framed tobacco as luxury. The composition carries strong decorative appeal, with its sharp contrast and stylized modernist portraiture, making it a compelling piece for interiors that celebrate vintage design and cultural history.

A commissioned/original work Exclusively available at Être Studios, an inspired choice for vintage advertising and retros design for home decor.
