Description

This vibrant Art Nouveau poster by Georges de Feure depicts a masked harlequin dancer in a swirling diamond-patterned costume leaping dramatically against a bold yellow background, with a crowd of silhouetted revelers and festive chaos in the deep blue upper half. The large stylized lettering 'FONTY' dominates the lower portion, advertising a performer or entertainment act — likely a music-hall or cabaret act in late 19th-century Paris, where de Feure was an established poster artist. Lithographed by L. Batrille, 18 Rue de Chabrol, Paris, the piece exemplifies the energetic, decorative poster style that made Montmartre cabaret culture famous across Europe.
