JULES CHERET JARDIN DE PARIS. 1890.
48 1/2x33 1/4 inches. Chaix, Paris.
Condition B+: light vertical and horizontal folds; repaired tears at edges, some affecting image.
A Cherette in yellow with a blue fan, is dancing beneath fireworks against an orange background and the silhouettes of other revelers. A startlingly festive image magically capturing the energy and excitement of this nightly, outdoor soiree. This is the larger of two formats, and features more detail than the smaller, specifically the fireworks and the figures in the background. Broido 251.
