About the piece

This 1894 study by Henri-Gabriel Ibels showcases the bold, graphic style of the Parisian avant-garde. Featuring a woman in a wide black hat against a dynamic, swirling backdrop, the work uses a striking palette of midnight blue and electric yellow to create a modern, high-fashion sensibility characteristic of late 19th-century French lithography.
