Description

This vibrant Art Nouveau poster depicts two masked, costumed figures in dynamic motion — a harlequin and a companion in carnival dress — leaping across a bold yellow background while a crowd of silhouetted revelers swirls behind them in deep blue and orange. The word 'FONTY' dominates the lower half in large dark letters, advertising a Parisian performer or entertainment act. Printed by lithographer G. Bataille of Paris, the poster exemplifies the expressive, theatrical graphic style that made Georges de Feure one of the leading poster artists of 1890s Belle Époque Paris.
