VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This image features an Art Nouveau style illustration of a woman, who appears to be performing or posing with theatrical flair. She is adorned in an extravagant costume that includes a black bodice embellished with decorative elements and fringes, along with a skirt-like garment that leaves her legs mostly exposed. Her attire is accessorized with large white puffs at the hips and various chains draping around her waist. The performer's headpiece is striking—a voluminous plume of dark feathers that fans out dramatically behind her head, adding to the overall grandeur of her appearance. In each hand, she holds up part of a vibrant red cloak or curtain, which frames her figure and creates an impressive backdrop for her pose. Her makeup is bold and stylized, typical of early 20th-century performance art aesthetics—darkened eyes and bright cheeks are visible even from afar. The expression on her face suggests confidence and allure as she gazes directly at the viewer. Above the illustration reads "LA VRAIE REINE DES REINES" (The True Queen of Queens), while below it states "LA REINE DES QUATRE-ARTS FÉMININS" (The Queen of Four Feminine Arts), suggesting this depiction may symbolize mastery or preeminence in areas traditionally associated with women's artistic expression during that era. At either side at the bottom corners are two profile portraits—one male and one female—rendered in lighter tones against darker circular backgrounds; these could possibly represent admirers or patrons from different genders appreciating the central figure's artistry. Overall, this image captures both elegance and extravagance characteristic of its time period’s fascination with theatricality, fashion, and feminine beauty.
