Portret van Jules Lyon before 1900

"Portret van Jules Lyon" is a small, 60 mm by 50 mm portrait of Jules Lyon, a prominent figure in the Belgian theater industry. Created by Edouard Grauwet, a Belgian artist born in 1872, the image is a detail from a larger program for "Une Cause célèbre" (a famous case), a theatrical production likely staged around the turn of the 20th century. The artwork is a fascinating glimpse into the world of early 20th-century Belgian theater and offers insight into the individual who played a role in its development.
