Portrait of the Music Hall Entertainer Marcelle Lender

Date

Medium

The most striking aspect of this lithograph is its subtle tones. Depicted is the moment when the singer and dancer Marcelle Lender, wearing a Spanish-inspired costume, thanks the audience for their ovations. She is best known for dancing the bolero in the operettarevue Chilpéric. The cropping of the portrait is reminiscent of the then popular Japanese colour woodcut portraits of stage actresses.
