EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled "Dessin original pour la couverture des Maîtres de l'Affiche" by Jules Cheret, dates back to 1896 and was published by Imprimerie Chaix in Paris. The lithograph showcases a woman dressed in a vibrant checked costume, standing proudly with one hand on her hip and the other extended in front of her, as if inviting the viewer to join her in a theatrical performance. The woman's outfit is reminiscent of Commedia dell'Arte, a popular Italian theatrical tradition during the Belle Époque. The rich colors and intricate design of the lithograph are characteristic of the Art Nouveau style, which was prevalent during this period in France. The woman's pierrot-inspired dress, with its exaggerated collar and voluminous sleeves, adds to the playful and whimsical atmosphere of the piece. The setting, with its checkered background and the suggestion of a stage or a theater in the background, further emphasizes the theatrical theme. This beautiful work of art, now part of the Wallach Division Picture Collection at the New York Public Library, is a testament to the creativity and artistic innovation of the 19th century.
