About the Item

Watercolor lithograph presenting the portrait of Madame Chéruit, by the artist Paul César Helleu Madame Chéruit was one of the first women to run a fashion house in Paris at the beginning of the 20th century, Place Vendôme. Her taste and refinement were recognized internationally, and she dressed many clients, including our artist's wife, Paul-César Helleu; this one has represented Mme Chéruet on many occasions Paul César Helleu (1859-1927) is a French painter and engraver; he entered the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris in 1876, in the studio of Jean-Léon Gérôme, but more attracted by outdoor painting, he became the friend of Claude Monet, Giovanni Boldini, among others. From his very important career, we note his beginnings with the ceramist Theodore Deck, for whom he created decorations for dishes; his many portraits of Parisian High Society, elegant women; his exhibitions of non-standard paintings at the Salon des Artistes with Les Grandes Eaux du Bassin de Latone; the decoration of the starry vault ceiling of the Grand Central Terminal in New York in 1912.
