Description

This poster presents Pepa Carel in close-up, her coiffed hair and lipstick set above emphatic red block lettering. With only her stage name as copy, the sheet functions as a direct star-billing portrait for display.

Pepa Carel, born Joséphine Caraguel, was a French music-hall performer and singer.

Rastaut uses soft airbrushed modelling, sharp black contour and a reduced cream-red palette to create a sleek Art Deco publicity image. Linen backing and repairs have stabilised a scarce large-format French entertainment poster.
