Anquetin’s Signature Style
Sotheby's
In 1887, Édouard Dujardin hailed Anquetin as the chief proponent of Cloissonism; Juliette illustrates the principle elements of this new artistic movement that affirmed the supremacy of drawing. Borrowing its style from medieval stained glass windows and enamels – as well as from Japanese prints – the exceptionally elegant shadowy black outlines, together with the flat treatment of the motifs, bring to life a masterpiece by the contemporary and influencer of Toulouse-Lautrec, Bernard and Van Gogh.
