ALFRED CHOUBRAC (1853-1902) CONCERT DE LA PÉPINIÈRE / PARIS RETROUSSÉ. 31 1/2x22 3/4 inches, 80x58 cm. Condition B+: repaired tears, creases and restoration in margins and image; restoration along sharp vertical and horizontal folds. Le Pepiniere was a successful music hall near the Gare St. Lazare, where servants from the bourgeois neighborhood would meet soldiers from the nearby barracks. Choubrac captures the flavor of the nightly ribald excitement via a low cut costume and ample petticoats.
