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

Eugène Cicéri was a renowned French painter and stage designer, known for his work at the Opéra in Paris. This watercolor sketch is a design for a stage set, and the artist's signature is visible in the bottom right corner. It captures a dramatic, mountainous landscape, likely for a production in the late 19th century. The use of muted tones and the sweeping lines of the mountains contribute to the overall sense of grandeur and drama in the piece. This is a rare example of Cicéri’s stage designs, offering insight into his artistic vision for the theatrical world.
