Design for a Stage Set at the Opéra, Paris 1830 - 1890

This is a design for a stage set by French artist Eugène Cicéri, drawn in the late 19th century. It is a detailed sketch in shades of grey that depicts the corner of a building in a perspective view. The gridded background indicates that this sketch was a study for a larger scale set for the Opéra in Paris. Cicéri, a renowned scenic designer, was known for his elaborate stage sets, which contributed to the grand spectacle of 19th century opera productions. This sketch provides a glimpse into his artistic process and the architectural detail he incorporated in his designs.
