Description:
"Perhaps it is the handling of silhouettes that gives this poster of a woman print fancier its appeal. The scene is a gallery interior. Gottlob has places the woman in front of a large window, and through dramatic backlighting has emphasised the dark forms. The crisp outlines of the plumed hat, the woman’s delicate features, and the print she examines dominate the composition, and the stylized lettering announcing the exhibition enliven the surface… the examples of the surviving originals of the poster were (very rare), which also exists in reduced versions made for the fifth album of Les Maitres de L’affiche in 1900, the year after it was designed. The inclusion of it in that series was a boon for Gottlob, ensuring attention he has yet to receive for his paintings of Parisian Boulevards" (Wolfe, 44)
