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

Eugène Cicéri's "Design for a Stage Set at the Opéra, Paris" from the 19th century is a detailed pencil drawing of a stage design for a play or opera. This preparatory work highlights Cicéri's expertise in creating immersive and theatrical environments. The design features a central opening framed by two large, intricately drawn trees, suggesting a natural backdrop that could be used for a variety of productions. The stage designer likely used this drawing as a guide to create a three-dimensional set, perhaps in wood or fabric.
