A fan of the finest prewar art and automobiles, the new owner who bought this car in 2015 found himself inspired by Sonia Delaunay’s design on the first British edition of Vogue magazine, which depicts a motorist wearing a Sonia Delauney “simultaneous” dress and leaning on an open Voisin painted in an Art Deco triangle motif.
With his Voisin in need of cosmetic refurbishment, the owner embarked on its restoration, which included a variation of this stunning ornamentation being hand-painted by Dutch artist Bernadette Ramaekers. The work took six months to complete and stands as a testament to both the original design and Ramaekers’ ability with a brush.

to see for yourself the unique way that Delaunay's designs made 1920s cars appear to be personalized to the owner, but not quite distracting works of art, see https://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2021/06/i-finally-found-couple-more-cars.html and
