A beautiful and highly decorative original vintage exhibition poster by celebrated French artist Jean-Gabriel Domergue, renowned for his glamorous portrayals of elegant Parisian women. Often referred to as the “inventor of the pin-up,” Domergue became famous for capturing the spirit of French sophistication, fashion, and nightlife during the early to mid-20th century.

This striking affiche was created for an exhibition at the prestigious Galerie du Carlton on La Croisette in Cannes, one of the most iconic luxury destinations on the French Riviera. The composition perfectly reflects Domergue’s signature style: refined femininity, soft painterly brushwork, vivid colour accents, and an unmistakable sense of Parisian glamour.

The poster features a beautifully dressed woman with dramatic black gloves, feather details, and a vivid red hat, surrounded by an atmospheric café society background. A timeless image that instantly evokes the elegance of 1950s France.

An exceptional decorative piece for collectors of vintage French posters, fashion illustration, Riviera culture, and mid-century interior design.
