Ambassadeurs, La Jolie Fagette, Chéret, 1891

A singer in yellow lifts a hand to her pearls.

What

Jules Chéret's poster for La Jolie Fagette at the Ambassadeurs, printed by Chaix in Paris in 1891; Broido 201.

Why

A plumed hat, a string of pearls, a red rose: Chéret's shorthand for a star.

Notice

The yellow of the dress glows against a blue ground, and the name runs across the base in deep blue script.

“The café-concert star as Chéret built her.”
