ORIGINAL ANTIQUE LITHOGRAPH — TOULOUSE-LAUTREC ERA — YVETTE GUILBERT-TYPE BLACK-GLOVE CABARET PERFORMER — ART NOUVEAU / BELLE ÉPOQUE — MONOGRAM STAMP — HANDMADE PERIOD PAPER
Offered here is a striking antique lithographic image of a female cabaret performer, visually recalling the celebrated Yvette Guilbert-type black-glove theatrical figure associated with the world of Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, French Art Nouveau, Belle Époque Paris, café-concert performance, and Post-Impressionist printmaking.
The performer is shown in a dramatic stage pose with one long black-gloved arm raised high, a blue-green dress, expressive facial features, and loose, energetic linework. The subject strongly relates to the iconic Paris cabaret imagery of the 1890s, especially the visual language of Yvette Guilbert, whose long black gloves became one of the most recognizable symbols in Toulouse-Lautrec’s performer imagery.
This is not a modern poster-style decorative reproduction. The sheet is printed on antique handmade pulp-like paper with visible fibrous texture, age, translucency when held to light, and period surface character. A circular hallmark-style monogram stamp is visible in the lower-left region of the image area and is shown in the close-up photos.
The print has a wonderfully atmospheric Belle Époque presence: theatrical, elegant, slightly risqué, and unmistakably tied to the world of Paris nightlife, café-concert performers, stage personalities, cabaret singers, dancers, and Art Nouveau graphic design.

Historical / Collector Interest:
This image belongs visually to the same Parisian nightlife world that made Toulouse-Lautrec’s prints so desirable: café-concerts, theatrical women, cabaret singers, dancers, and the graphic culture of Belle Époque Paris. Museum collections document Toulouse-Lautrec’s lithographs of Yvette Guilbert from the 1890s, including works showing her distinctive stage persona and black-glove imagery.
The combination of the black-glove subject, expressive cabaret pose, visible monogram-style stamp, handmade pulp-like antique paper, and strong decorative Art Nouveau character makes this a particularly compelling piece for collectors, dealers, decorators, and print specialists.
