La Fileuse 1900

"La Fileuse" (1900) is a lithograph by Jules Chéret, a leading figure in the Belle Époque era of French poster art. The piece depicts a woman in a vibrant yellow gown, likely a Parisian fashion model, seated on a red cushion while holding a spindle of thread. The vibrant colors, especially the yellow and blue tones, and the dynamic composition create a striking image. This work exemplifies Chéret's signature style, known for its bold use of color and its depiction of alluring figures, often in theatrical settings. The poster is a testament to the artist's skill in capturing the essence of Parisian life and fashion during this time.
