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

This is a pencil drawing by Eugène Cicéri, a French stage designer. It is a design for a stage set for the Opéra in Paris and depicts a single, tall structure with multiple windows, situated against a large, rocky cliff face. The drawing shows the outline of the set in great detail, with the artist's pencil strokes conveying the texture of the rocks and the building. Cicéri was known for his elaborate and realistic stage designs, and this drawing is a testament to his talent.
