V&A.Colour lithograph poster advertising the Eldorado Music Hall, Paris, featuring a leaping woman holding a tambourine and a clown playing the banjo. A musical, limelight world of escapism peopled by dancing girls and clowns is created here through Chéret’s careful tonal modelling, transitory poses and indeterminate spatial placements. -- source link
