1904
Step into a Parisian salon in 1904 with Fernand Louis Gottlob, who sketched these fashionable figures with witty, loose lines. The women, sporting the era's iconic towering hats and high collars, seem deep in gossip or quiet reflection, embodying the elegance of the Art Nouveau period. Gottlob, a master illustrator, likely used these quick studies to capture the fleeting gestures and styles of the Belle Époque before they vanished. It’s a charming snapshot of a time when looking good and socializing were serious business.
