George Goursat, better known by the pseudonym Sem, was a French illustrator and caricaturist celebrated for his witty depictions of high society during the Belle Époque and early 20th century. His elegant drawings captured the personalities, fashions, and social life of Paris with remarkable charm and observational skill. Combining humour with refined linework, his work offers a fascinating glimpse into a world of cafés, theatres, and fashionable gatherings. Today, Goursat’s illustrations bring character, sophistication, and a touch of Parisian elegance to contemporary interiors.
