Design for a Stage Set at the Opéra, Paris 1828 - 1890

Eugène Cicéri's "Design for a Stage Set at the Opéra, Paris" (1828-1890) is a detailed ink and wash drawing that captures the grandeur of a stage set for a theatrical performance. The artwork depicts a monumental archway constructed of stone, emphasizing the architecture and scale of the set. It is likely that this drawing was created for a specific opera, perhaps providing a glimpse into the dramatic world created by Cicéri, a prominent set designer in 19th-century Paris.
