Original Description
Albert Guillaume’s Lifting Her Petticoat (c. 1890s) captures the playful elegance of Belle Époque Paris with witty charm. This gouache and watercolor piece depicts a fashionable young woman coyly lifting her skirt, her expressive face and flowing dress rendered in Guillaume’s signature loose, lively brushwork. A master of satire and lighthearted scenes, Guillaume was a prominent illustrator for magazines like Le Rire and Le Figaro, bridging academic art and popular culture. The painting embodies the era’s fascination with modern femininity and urban leisure, its slightly risqué humor softened by the artist’s affectionate touch. While less monumental than his contemporaries’ work, Guillaume’s intimate compositions offer valuable insights into fin-de-siècle social commentary, making this piece a delightful artifact of 19th-century graphic arts.
For display, Lifting Her Petticoat would elevate a study or dressing room with its soft washes of peach, cream, and slate blue. Choose a gilded Rococo-revival frame to complement its Parisian flair, or opt for a slim black profile for a contemporary gallery wall pairing. At approximately 12x16 inches, it suits a niche above a vanity or a curated hallway grouping—avoid overwhelming it in large spaces. Style it alongside Art Nouveau mirrors or cerused oak furniture to harmonize with its era, or let it pop against moody navy walls for contrast. The painting’s whimsy makes it ideal for spaces celebrating creativity, like a writer’s nook or boutique hotel lounge, where its narrative charm can spark conversation.
