Gouache or watercolor on paper depicting the mythical Montmartre district from the late 19th century to the 1950s.
We see the Willette sign of the Au Chat Noir cabaret, women in skimpy outfits singing saucy songs (including perhaps the Houppa, nickname of singer and actress Marcelle Capronnier), Josephine Baker (the dancer opened her own cabaret on rue Fontaine in Montmartre in 1926) dancing half-naked and being chased by a policeman, the Sacré Coeur, the Moulin Rouge music hall, a rapin (nickname given to future painters) and his models...
Signed F. Aufrère
