Design for a Stage Set 1830 - 1890

Eugène Cicéri, a prominent French stage designer, created this watercolor design for a stage set sometime between 1830 and 1890. The artwork, currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, features a simple but evocative depiction of a forest with tall trees, a light blue sky, and hints of green foliage. Cicéri's detailed rendering of the trees and the overall sense of depth suggest his expertise in creating visually captivating stage settings for theatrical productions.
