Original Description
This exquisite pencil and watercolor costume design by Carl Gesmar transports viewers to the dazzling world of Parisian cabaret in the early 20th century. Created for Mistinguett, France's legendary "Queen of the Revue," the piece captures the essence of Art Deco sophistication with its fluid lines and vibrant washes of color. Gesmar, who became Mistinguett's principal designer in 1916, revolutionized theatrical costume by blending fantasy with wearability – evident here in the delicate balance between structural pencil definition and expressive watercolor flourishes. As one of only about 20 surviving Gesmar designs featuring Mistinguett (most were destroyed), this artwork holds significant historical value, embodying both the golden age of Parisian entertainment and Gesmar's pivotal role in merging fine art with performance design. The swirling fabrics and dynamic posture perfectly convey Mistinguett's charismatic stage presence that captivated audiences at the Moulin Rouge.
For interior spaces, this artwork deserves prominent placement – ideally in a dressing room, creative studio, or lounge area where its theatrical spirit can shine. Frame it in a slender gilt frame reminiscent of 1920s French design to enhance its vintage charm. The pastel-dominated color scheme pairs beautifully with soft grey walls or rich emerald green backdrops, allowing the coral and gold accents to pop. At its typical size (approximately 30x40cm), it works best as part of a curated gallery wall alongside other Art Deco prints or as a striking solo piece above a velvet-upholstered console. In offices, position it where creative energy flows – advertising agencies or design studios would particularly benefit from its inspirational legacy. Maintain ambient lighting rather than harsh spots to preserve the delicate watercolors while evoking the warm glow of cabaret footlights.
