This color engraving, titled "A courtesan at the time of the 2nd Empire playing billiards" transports us back to a bygone era of elegance and intrigue. Created by Antony Paul Emile Morlon in the late 19th century, this exquisite print showcases a cocote genre huppe engrossed in a game of billiards. The setting is an opulent interior from the Second Empire period, with its lavish furnishings and ornate decor. The courtesan stands gracefully, cue in hand, ready to take her shot. Her full-length gown exudes French fashion at its finest, accentuating her allure and sophistication. As she focuses on the game before her, we catch a glimpse of her reflection in the mirror behind her. This subtle detail adds depth to the composition while highlighting both her beauty and skill.
