Design for a Stage Set 1830 - 1890

Eugène Cicéri's "Design for a Stage Set" is a watercolor on paper that depicts a scenic design for a theatrical production. Cicéri, a prominent French scenic designer, was known for his dramatic and imaginative stage sets. This particular design features a large cave-like opening, with jagged, icicle-like formations framing the center stage, likely intended to create a dramatic and atmospheric setting for a performance. The soft tones of blue and gray used in the watercolor create a sense of depth and mystery. This piece demonstrates Cicéri's talent for creating visually compelling and immersive stage environments.
