Abdy’s description of the de Feure model in this (and his other classic, the Paris-Almanach, see No. 375) captures the source of our fascination with her: “She is expensively and discreetly dressed, in the drab colours that were fashionable in the nineties. The subdued, almost washed-out tints of dull mauve, snuff brown, and tired green had not been seen before in the poster. . . . The face of the woman is troubled, and she is at the same time the worrier and the schemer. . . . It is typical of de Feure’s work that woman is always seen in isolation” (p. 152).
