Description

This decorative theatrical poster centres a dark-haired female performer within a floral rococo cartouche, with chrysanthemums cascading around the frame and a mandolin resting below the title “Baronne Paulette.”

Institutional catalogues record Baronne Paulette as a French café-concert or music-hall affiche by Atelier Pal, attributed to Jean de Paléologue.

The design uses Belle Époque colour lithography, pastel washes and elegant hand-lettering.
