Belle Époque portraits

These illustrations capture the elegance and irony of Parisian high society during the Belle Époque.

One figure stands with his back turned, observing a horse race in silence; the other appears motionless and self-contained, dressed in dark formalwear with an almost theatrical rigidity. Together, they create an unmistakable French dialogue.

The visible patina, softened tones and imperfections of the frames are part of the object’s charm and authenticity.
