Bals De L’opéra En 1899 1899

Jules Chéret's "Bals De L’opéra En 1899" is a vibrant lithograph poster advertising a masked ball at the Paris Opera House on January 7th, 1899. This poster is a prime example of Chéret’s signature style, with its bold lines, vibrant colors, and lively figures. The poster features a central female figure in a yellow dress, accompanied by a costumed figure and a man in a top hat. Chéret's posters, known for their decorative and theatrical qualities, were highly influential in the development of Art Nouveau and were widely collected in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
