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

Eugène Cicéri's "Design for a Stage Set at the Opéra, Paris" is a detailed architectural drawing of a grand archway, likely for a theatrical production. The artist, known for his work as a stage designer, utilized a grid system to plan out the set's dimensions. The drawing is on a sheet of paper with a pale yellow background, with the archway drawn in pencil and the grid in red ink. The drawing showcases Cicéri's masterful use of perspective and his ability to create a sense of grandeur in a theatrical setting. This design, executed between 1830 and 1890, is a prime example of the detailed work required for stage design in the 19th century, and is a testament to the artistry of Eugène Cicéri.
