About the Item
Signed lower left.
Marcel Cosson, Bordeaux, France in 1878.
About the artwork: This post-impressionist painting depicts ballerinas meeting wealthy men after a performance in a private foyer de la danse at the Opéra de Paris. A highbrow event these days, in the 19th century, ballet was the height of erotic experience, so rich gentlemen paid for the privilege of socializing with the dancers. The ballerinas’ nude arms, exposed legs and variety of alluring positions spurred some admirers to sponsor their favorite dancer in exchange for her becoming his mistress and bolstering his prestige. This picture captures a graceful moment in this somewhat secret world, one hidden behind the footlights. It is set in a handmade bronzed, filigreed, and gilded wood frame ready to hang. Painting dimensions without frame = 12 x 17 1/2 inches

“The Ballet Performance”
By Jean-Louis-Marcel Cosson
Located in Southampton, NY
Exquisite, original oil on canvas painting of a ballet performance by the well known French artist, Jean-Louis-Marcel Cosson. Signed by the artist lower left. Condition is very good. Old wax reline.
