Training
1906
Step into the flirtatious world of 1906 Paris with this charming sketch by Fernand Louis Gottlob. The man sports a dapper boater hat and striped jacket, posing as a confident 'dandy' ready to woo. His companion wears a hat so enormous it defies gravity—a hallmark of Edwardian fashion that screamed high status. The title 'Entrainement' (Training) hints at a playful double meaning: is he training her in the art of love, or are they just practicing their social poses? The handwritten caption at the bottom adds a witty dialogue about 'preparing a license,' blending academic ambition with romantic tension in classic Belle Époque style.
