It is an original French lithograph by the iconic illustrator, Jules Cheret. It was a story illustration in a 1912 French literary publication. Elaborately illustrated books were common publications in France at that time. Today these books are only to be found in private collections. This image is NOT a recent reproduction print. Cheret's works are often reproduced today. He is known as the father of the modern poster; his works have transcended commercial advertising art into poster art and finally into an art form that has influenced collectors and the art world alike. His paintings of women of the Moulin Rouge decorated the streets of Paris in the early 1900s. His work mixed brilliant hues with a fine and graceful technique making his work unique, delicate and highly recognizable. This image is entiteld "la Femme Ideale"; it showcases a whirling woman dancing with an open fan. Her dress is in motion as she whirls. Note her ribboned hat, the large red flower on her dress and her tiptoe stance. The lithograph is done in soft warm highlights of color which personifies Cheret's craft. Pristine condition. Signed in lower right. Image size measures 6 x 10 inches; comes matted in a cream tone 16 x 20 custom mat ready for a standard size frame. See less
