From the Cleveland Museum of Art record

The diva of the Parisian café-concert, Guilbert was portrayed in high and low art throughout the Belle Époque. Toulouse-Lautrec portrayed the singer in her signature long black gloves and simple satin dress with deep V-neck that accentuated her thin figure and distinguished her from her heavily corseted colleagues. Here, enraptured members of the audience gaze adoringly from balconies and peep from behind the curtain.
