Louise Balthy was one of Cappiello's preferred models from the entertainment world. She was a French café-concert performer and revue star who appeared at the Folies-Bergère. Cappiello designed the poster, and Imp. P. Vercasson & Cie of Paris lithographed it in 1902, during the early years of his Vercasson association, which began in 1900.
The Library of Congress Prints and Photographs Division holds a copy.
On the poster
Louise Balthy stands in a feathered bustle gown against loose amber-ochre brushstrokes, both arms raised behind an upswept coiffure. Burnt-sienna display lettering arcs across the top, and "LOUISE BALTHY" closes the composition at the foot in compressed black slab-serif.
