The artwork, titled “Pierrot with Chanteuse and Satyr,” was created by Gerda Wegener in 1918. This piece belongs to the Art Nouveau movement, also known as Modern, and falls under the genre of illustration.
In this exquisite piece, the artist has intricately detailed three figures in an elegant interior setting. A central female figure, the chanteuse, is adorned in an elaborate gown accented with bows and floral embellishments, typical of the late Baroque or Rococo style. She is seated, seemingly engaged in an intimate conversation with a costumed Pierrot figure, who leans in close. To the left, a small cherubic satyr plays a piano with music sheets opened before him. The backdrop features what appears to be a window with drapes of ivy, contributing to the serene and refined ambiance of the scene. The illustration epitomizes the Art Nouveau’s characteristic graceful lines and ornamental style.
