Her low-cut costume of green, blue and yellow, with feathers and roses in her hair, sets this color lithograph apart from many portraits of its era. Courier Lithograph Company of Buffalo, New York, created the print in 1899 and registered it with the U.S. Copyright Office. Posters like this were built to catch the eye from across a street, and their bold, flat color was typical of chromolithography at the time. The gallery files it under New Orleans, a city known for its theater and carnival traditions, though the record does not tie the image to a specific local event.
