EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph depicts a woman elegantly dressed as a page from the comic opera "La Mascotte" at the Theatre des Bouffes Parisiens in the 1880s. The woman's costume is an intricately designed masterpiece, featuring a flowing aqua-blue gown adorned with delicate details of coral, seaweed, and an array of colorful fish and shells. Her headdress is crowned with a magnificent gold star, symbolizing her role as a page in the production. The masquerade ball theme is further emphasized by the woman's elaborate mask, which covers her eyes and nose, leaving only her rosy cheeks and lips exposed. The mask, shaped like a stylized robin, adds a playful and whimsical touch to her ensemble. The lithograph, published by Martinet in Paris, captures the essence of the 1880s opera and masquerade ball culture, where fancy dress and creative costumes were the order of the day. The intricate details of the woman's costume, from the delicate fish scales to the curling tendrils of coral, are brought to life through the skilled hand of the lithographer, Chatiniere. The use of handcolouring adds a vibrant and rich dimension to the print, making it a true work of art. This beautiful lithograph is a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the opulence and enchantment of the 1880s opera and masquerade ball scene in Paris.
