Illustration after Leonetto Cappiello, "Our actresses", Réjane in Georgette Lemeunier, 38 x 52 cm

Illustration inspired by the visual universe of leonetto cappiello, famous for his posters of the belle époque, a free interpretation of an original portrait contained in the book "nos actrices", which celebrated the great theatrical figures of the time. It represents the actress réjane in the role of georgette lemeunier, a character in the play by maurice donnay, created on december 15, 1898 at the théâtre du vaudeville in paris. Réjane, surrounded by stage partners such as lucien guitry (lemeunier) and félix huguenet (journay), left an indelible mark on parisian theater. The work is framed in a gilded wood frame, with a cream mat that brings a touch of softness and elegance. The paper of the illustration shows obvious signs of aging, including several stains, wear marks and a natural patina. These imperfections are visible on the surface of the paper, including brown spots and some discoloration, which are indicative of the age of the piece and add character to this vintage artwork. Despite these marks of time, the illustration remains a fascinating evocation of early 20th century theatre and artistic culture, capturing réjane's grace on stage. The frame is ready to hang, perfect for theatre enthusiasts, art deco enthusiasts, or vintage graphic art lovers looking to enrich their collection.
